About the author
Frank Knight
117 books1 followerFrank Knight, admittedly, is a pen name.
Though pseudonymous, Frank Knight is a real person who has lived most of his life in northeast Ohio. He grew up on a farm and attended a variety of christian churches as a boy. He worked on several farms from the time he was 4 until he was 29. Most of his neighbors and fellow students through school were good, religious people from many walks of life.
Knight attended a typical Midwestern school with other middle class kids. Most were not farmers but their grandparents were. He spent ten years in college because he loved it and received three separate bachelor's degrees: two literary and one in science.
Working his way through a decade of college on farms, as a carpenter, in restaurants, gas stations, factories and even catering, Knight befriended a wide variety of people. Frequent travel in the Americas and abroad has also rendered him a long list of friends.
Towards the end of his profession as a student, he began working as an automation designer and engineer for the lingering rubber and automotive plants that once defined the Ohio Valley. Engineering, however, was just an unfortunate way of earning money.
Aside from his family, Frank's main love is to study languages and analyze literature.
As for the reason for the pen name, well, suffice it to say that this author has seen his share of harassment from the abrahamic religions and really doesn't need any more. For a few examples, refer to Bruce and Samantha in the book. Disregarding the paranormal, the harassment that those two children have received were real experiences of the author. Some of them happened more than once.
