Other good news... Frankie is now officially published in ebook and paperback.... Here's a shocker. A casual gym friend who had seemed COLD to the book for the past many months actually got the sample from Apple Books and announced to me with a girlish smile: "I looked at your book. I like it. I think it's more a woman's book that a man's book.."....  (?!) The last thing I would try to write is a woman's book. Frankie is something of a sci-fi mystery thriller. That this friend likes it is a very good sign because I do try to write for everyone.
