Frank Mottl

About: 

Frank enjoys writing prose and poetry. He believes that a good base in poetry significantly improves the writing of prose. His debut novel, “The Cumberland Tales” is a collection of connected stories and poetry. His second, “Mother’s Keep”, published two years ago, also a ‘combo’ of prose and poetry, was inspired by his Granny. His most recent publication is “Cumberland Gold”, a murder/thriller/puzzler. The working title of his current manuscript, “The Transformation of Margery Kempe” is based on this courageous, medieval woman who some say had a personality disorder. Frank publishes all his work through Mythmoulder Publishing.

Frank has been published by the Poetry Institute of Canada for his poetry, and prose. He has also been published by publishers in the U.S., Australia, China, U.K., and Canada.
