Frank Thomas Croisdale

Frank Thomas Croisdale was born and raised in Niagara Falls, New York. In 2000, he began writing for the Niagara Falls Reporter. He soon became a featured columnist and contributing editor. He wrote for the paper for 13 years and produced hundreds of feature articles.

In 2004, his book Buffalo Soul Lifters was published. It quickly became a best-seller as people connected with his stories of hope and perseverance that define the great people of Western New York.

In 2020, his novel Niagara Falls Into Darkness was released to great fanfare. The crime thriller not only kept readers on the edges of their seats, it also captured the many nuances of the twin cities that flank either side of the world’s most famous waterfalls.

In 2024, Croisdale released Niagara Falls Into Madness, the follow-up to his last novel and the second offering in the Niagara Falls trilogy. The crime and courtroom thriller is set just days after the horrific Tops Friendly Market mass shooting that shocked the nation. The novel celebrates the men and women that have kept Niagara Falls as a protector of civil rights throughout the last three centuries.
