Frank spent over 30 years in the police force but he always had another passion too – writing crime fiction stories inspired by his varied experiences on the force. Yet between his intense job, family life, and volunteering efforts, Frank couldn’t find the time or guidance to bring his creative vision to life. After retiring two years ago, Frank finally saw his window of opportunity open up.
He carved out a little time every morning in his favorite armchair with a steaming mug of black coffee to work on his manuscripts. The stories of deception, danger, and redemption flowed out of him. His protagonist Jack Steel was a purposeful outlet for Frank’s unflinching view into the nuances of criminal justice – its failures but also its ability to lift people up.
After two years diligently writing, Frank finished his first crime novel “Bury the Truth”. But then doubt crept in. Unsure how to get his book edited, designed, and published, Frank started desperately googling self-publishing companies. Many bombarded him with phone calls, emails, and confusing jargon about publishing packages costing upwards of $20,000. Frank felt overwhelmed and anxious his book would never make it out into the world.
