My second novel (well, third really—the first is in a drawer), which will star one of the more minor characters from THIS IS HOW IT BEGINS, Frank Zeilonka. I liked Frank from the moment I met him, and as I wrote his character, all these hints kept cropping up that indicated he probably had his own story to tell. He does!
This one will center around a case of wrongful imprisonment, a topic that greatly interests and disturbs me—exactly what I need to sustain me through the process of writing a novel.
