About me: "Frank Creed is one of my favorite people. He has a heart for God and is, in my opinion, one of a new generation of spiritual warriors." --M.L. Tyndall
Ms Tyndall, Frank's favorite living author (Legacy of the King's Pirates' series--must read stuff), blew him away with those words found on her blog.
Every piece of fiction Frank's finished has been published, won awards, or both. After a Biblical-fantasy novella and three Biblical-cyberpunk short stories were included in the Tales for the Thrifty Barbarian and Light at the Edge of Darkness anthologies, Frank Creed's first novel, Flashpoint: Book One of the Underground was released in November of 2007. This came exactly one year after Frank founded the private invitation-only Lost Genre Guild, where Biblical speculative fiction authors and fans network and promote together.
Frank needs to get his handicapped, deteriorating, aging body off the factory floor, and God's been opening doors. Replacing an autoworker's salary and benefits by writing is becoming a reality.
Frank is part of The Finishers manuscript evaluation service. While penning War of Attrition, Book Two of the Underground, (The Writer's Cafe Press, Fall '08), Frank's employing his blogging and newsgroup experiences to build a nonfiction portfolio and selling freelance articles. Look for them at www.associatedcontent.com. Frank is currently seeking a columnist position, using his 12th grade, blue-collar, self-educated, Biblically-philosophic, and forty-one year-old worldview voice.
"I'm not concerned about all hell breaking loose, but that a part of hell will break loose . . . it'll be much harder to detect."--George Carlin
To God be the glory,
Frank Creed--novelist and founder of the Lost Genre Guild

Of wives...who would rather have their husbands to hold
Of children...who would rather have their dad or mom at home.
Of mothers...who have buried their sons/daughters
Of fathers...whose feet their children followed
Of the men and women fighting a nightmare of their own -
one they will carry with them until the same song plays,
the same flag drapes and the same tears fall
just as they watched in pain their friends and comrades
committing what they will come to call "wrongs"
by which they lived..by which they survived...
nightmares they will carry with them throughout their lives.
It doesn't go away when the guns are laid down..
It doesn't go away when they return home...
It doesn't go away for them - why should it for you?
God Bless Our Veterans of Wars Past & Present
Remember those who have lost loved ones as much as you remember the ones who were lost and don't forget to pray for those who are out there everyday fighting for your freedom...
