Frank A. Perdue

I became interested in writing around the time I took an English course in college. It was required, and I had no preconceived idea it would change my life, but that's what happened. My creative drive remained dormant however until I learned at the young age of fifty-nine that my whole life had been a lie, and I was adopted almost at birth. I began to write shortly after that unnerving revelation. My first attempt, THE COLOR OF DECEPTION, was used as therapy to help me live with the realization that, after dealing with life by myself, I now had six sisters and maybe one brother. The transition was traumatic. Writing a full length novel was easy by comparison. I have since completed seven more books, most of them mysteries. My latest,THE SECRET OF BRIGHTWOOD CASTLE, has been my most ambitious undertaking to date. It required much more research, as it spans three hundred years.In the writing i learned so much about our history and that of The British Empire, along with the Third Reich.
