He believes that a good base in poetry significantly improves the writing of prose. His debut novel, "The Cumberland Tales" is a collection of connected stories. He's recently published his second, “Mother’s Keep”, and has sent off his third, “Cumberland Gold” to his editor. Frank publishes all his work through Mythmoulder Publishing.
There are two quotes which are important to Frank. The first, by John Keats, to paraphrase: "That which is creative, must itself create"; the second by William Blake, again, to paraphrase: "My job is not to reason and compare, my job is to create."
Frank is interested in developing unreliable narrators. He also leans toward "stream-of-consciousness" narratives and is currently reading William Faulkner's "Abolsom, Absolom." "The writers we read," he says," influence what we write, read the good ones."
Frank has been published by the Poetry Institute of Canada twice for his poetry, and twice for his prose. He has also been published by numerous publishers in the U.S. and Australia, and has been interviewed on radio shows in the U.K., and Canada. view less
