There are moments when someone shares something that makes everything else seem alright. This is part of a message I received from a former United States Marine: "Frank, your novel Echoes From The Infantry" touched me in ways I cannot even begin to express...you reached into my soul and exposed all of my horror and fear to the world...it was beautifully written and is most powerful...I know it will be a movie one day and will open many more eyes in the way it did mine.." http://www.amazon.com/Echoes-Infantry...

Love this review of Mickey Tussler posted on Amazon today!!:"This was a well told story sure to tug at the heartstrings of all that read it and get lost in its tale. Lovers of the great American pastime of baseball surely will not be disappointed in the details of the beauty and intricacies of the game. Those not in the church of baseball, might in fact convert, but at the very least will be moved by this incredibly poignant story of very human characters, who have a little piece of each of us in them....."

Thrilling story about the harrowing repercussions that occur when a young teacher sleeps with one of his high school students...packs a powerful warning about how dangerous it is to cross social and sexual boundaries...Nobody Has To Know is both a guilty pleasure and intellectually pleasing...sheds insight into the psychology, behavior and history of why people delve into dangerous sexual relationships. -- The Rockford Review
