Jon Frankel

Best part of his job: I love planning book moves with lots of complicated spreadsheets. It’s like solving a giant puzzle.

In his spare time: In my spare time I am a novelist and a poet. I actually have a novel coming out soon! I write literary sci fi and am currently working on my sixth novel.

Dream job: My dream job would be to make a living by writing. But not just novels and poetry. I’d like to use my writing skills to promote food and environmental issues particularly to low- and middle-income families. Combining the things I care about would allow me to give back to my community.

I am an independent author living in Ithaca New York. My first novel, Specimen Tank, was published in 1994 by Manic D. Press, under the name Buzz Callaway. On my website lastbender.com you will find The Man Who Can't Die as an eBook download, and The Last Bender, posted as chapters. I am also a poet and food writer and publish recipes and essays on my website. I am married, and have 5 children from two marriages. I grew up in the New York suburbs and lived for many years in Manhattan. I attended Oberlin College for a year. My works do not fit easily into categories. I am not an academic writer. I work full time and write in the evenings.
