Born and raised in small-town Ontario, Frank Sol is a die-hard romantic who enjoys home-cooked dinners, homemade wine, lots of chocolate, and a lot of sex.
He published his first novel, Bareback Mountain in 2007.
He lives a double life, writing gay erotica under the pen name of Frank Sol and penning tales of science fiction space operas and high fantasy for fun as Matt Kirkby.
When not busy writing, he spends his time helping his partner with his hand-crafted rocking chair business -- Off Your Rocker -- and trying to maintain some control over his cat. He still thinks that no gift is better than a new book.
