Frank Wayne

Frank enjoys writing prose and poetry. He believes that a good base in poetry significantly improves the writing of prose. He has just released his first novel "The Cumberland Tales," and is currently working on his next, "Mother's Keep". There are two quotes which are important to Frank. The first is by John Keats, and to paraphrase: That which is creative, must itself create; the second is 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, "Absalom, Absalom!"

"The writers we read, influence what we write," he says, "read the good ones."
