A.K. Frailey is also known as Ann Frailey.

A. K. Frailey is the author of a historical sci-fi and science fiction series, short story collections, inspirational non-fiction books, a children’s book, and a poetry collection.

Her novels expand from the OldEarth world to the Newearth universe—where deception rules but truth prevails.

Her nonfiction work focuses on the intersection of motherhood, widowhood, practicing gratitude, and rediscovering joy.

Ann homeschooled all her children. She manages her rural homestead with her kids and their numerous critters. In her spare time, she serves as an election judge, a literacy tutor, and secretary/treasurer of her small town’s cemetery.

Mostly I get ideas from the people/situations around me. I change the personalities/name and the drama/conflicts a bit - but in actuality they are reflections of real people, painful struggles, honest questions, sincere disappointments and actual moments of triumph. Sometimes that gets tricky - when people recognize themselves...but since I mix things I can always honestly say that there is no one who is really copied - just reflected in some manner. Thanks for asking.(less)

A.K.’s Recent Updates

A.K. Frailey is on page 409 of 778 of The Princes of Ireland: The family lineage makes for a coherent story, even though questions arise between generational leaps. The descriptions are excellent, and the story feels quite real.

A.K. Frailey is on page 150 of 334 of Sword and Scimitar: A very disturbing book, but the clear-eyed view of history reminds us of a brutal truth: humans can be our own worst enemies. It's a good thing that humanity can rise above our worst selves.

An outstanding read, but a scary narrative. How could so many people be so wildly mistaken in trusting a person not qualified to make good on an outlandish promise? It begs so many follow-up questions that even though the book is completed, I feel th ...more

“Books should grow the soul - while the reader has a little fun along the way.”
A.K. Frailey

Topics Mentioning This Author

“We have been called to heal wounds, to unite what has fallen apart, and to bring home those who have lost their way.”
St. Francis of Assisi

“Books should grow the soul - while the reader has a little fun along the way.”
A.K. Frailey

“No one in the world can change Truth. What we can do and and should do is to seek truth and to serve it when we have found it. The real conflict is the inner conflict. Beyond armies of occupation and the hetacombs of extermination camps, there are two irreconcilable enemies in the depth of every soul: good and evil, sin and love. And what use are the victories on the battlefield if we are ourselves are defeated in our innermost personal selves?”
St. Maximilian Kolbe

“The world is not a wish-granting factory.”
John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

“If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.”
J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
