About the Author

Frank Raemond has been in the book industry for literally decades. Much of his time has been spent working with incarcerated authors directly both pre- and post-publishing. He prefers reading (and writing) fiction over non-fiction, but sometimes a book just screams inside your head to be written. He lives with his wife in the beautiful Pacific Northwest where - literally - the mountains meet the ocean.
