Daniel R. Frank

Daniel R. Frank is the author of Crossing Over: Into the Light (2020) and soon to be released The Creature Within: Origins. His books are largely thriller and suspense genres, with a hint of science and historical fiction weaved in. Inspiration for his writing is mainly personal experience or events, and he attributes an autobiographical style to him writing "rich characters that you can feel."

After bouncing around Illinois and Chicago, Daniel now lives in Oak Park, IL - a quaint little village adjacent to the westside of Chicago. He began writing after his mother fell ill to a genetic kidney disorder, which claimed her life in March 2003 (the experience of his mother passing becoming an inspiration for Crossing Over).

When he's not writing, Daniel can be found playing with his young daughter and son, visiting a National Park, working out at his local CrossFit gym, or making plans to attend the next Phish concert.
