Biography
Frank Provo lives in the Midwestern U.S. with his wife, two obnoxious finches, and an occasional guinea pig. For eight years, he toiled in the boiler room writing about the video game industry for various pop-culture publications. Burnt out and disillusioned, he took a three-year hiatus from writing. Now, he's back and bent on defiling fiction in its myriad forms.
Many of his stories arise from his upbringing in the seedy underbelly of Seattle, Washington, during the time when The Green River Killer, Nirvana, and Mary Kay LeTourneau stalked the city's streets looking for flesh. However, he also pens an all-ages caper from time-to-time too.
His current project is the "Guilty Displeasures" short-story series, which takes an unforgiving look at people caught up in not-so-nice situations.
