edit data

Frank W. Butterfield, not an assumed name, loves old movies, wise-cracking smart guys with hearts of gold, and writing for fun.

Although he worships San Francisco, he lives at the beach on another coast.

Born on a windy day in November of 1966, he was elected President of his high school Spanish Club in the spring of 1983.

After moving across these United States like a rapid-fire pinball, he currently makes his home in a hurricane-proof apartment with superior water pressure that was built in 1926.

While he hasn't met any dolphins personally, that invitation is always open. ...more

Frank W Butterfield and 1 other person liked Barbara's review of The Vicious Vintner (A Nick Williams Mystery Book 39): "Waited awhile for this book but was not disappointed. It did cover 11 years of Nick and Carter's life--though the vineyards were what tied the stories together, there were other stories that wound through those 11 years. I enjoyed those because it fi" Read more of this review »

Frank W Butterfield and 3 other people liked Joyfully Jay's review of Half Double Murder: "A Joyfully Jay review. 5 stars This book is delightful. Told in two parts, it’s equal parts murder mystery and family drama, with small town politics and small town bigots.

Frank W Butterfield answered Yafa Crane Luria's question: Hi Frank, are you done with all the "Adventures of Nick and Carter" books? Thanks :) Hi Yafa! -- The Adventures of Nick and Carter series got folded back into The Nick Williams Mysteries series last year (this is not obvious here on Goodreads, unfortunately). They became Books 33-38 in the Mysteries series. Book 39 was The Vicious Vi See Full Answer

Quotes by Frank W. Butterfield (?)

“I play by the rules that are important. We protect our own because we can't count on anyone else to do so. I make it possible for men and women, the ones you work with who would otherwise drink themselves to death... Or whatever it is that gay cops end up doing to themselves because they can't come out... I make it possible for them to be open at work, make a good living, and do things that are meaningful and help others. The rules for way too long have been designed to keep us, and lots of other people, in our place. It's 1970 and we're not gonna play by those rules any longer.”
― Frank W. Butterfield, The Rowdy Renegade
