Frank Cole was born in a quiet town in Kentucky where he spent most of his childhood sharing exaggerated stories for show and tell. He now lives in Utah with his wife and three children.

One of Frank's greatest claims to fame was when he was rushed to the emergency room as a third-grader after falling out of Hashbrown Winter's tree house. If he had a nickname it would be Frankie the "Phantom".

When Frank's not writing books you can usually find him putting gold fish on "time out" or whipping up a delicious meal of scrambled pancakes *ick*

The Adventures of Hashbrown Winters is Frank's debut novel. Hashbrown Winters and the Mashimoto Madness is due out in book stores January 2010.
