It's a big week. The cherry blossoms are in full bloom and spring has sprung! As of the release of this newsletter, March Madness will only be a few short hours away (join the Hoops Crew Bracket Challenge below!). Frank also welcomes another big guest to Frank & Sense this week - author Ann Fraistat joins to discuss her novels and her journey to become an author. Read on to learn more!
This Week on Frank & Sense:
Frank hosts a career retrospective with author Ann Fraistat, starting with her high school plays and following her journey all the way through becoming a published author. Ann has written two (excellent) young adult novels, What We Harvest and A Place for Vanishing. We discuss the art of writing, the struggle to find an agent and become a professional author, dreams, and bugs.
Follow Ann on Instagram and Goodreads and check out Ann's website where you can support her work!

Next Week on Frank & Sense:
Let's get "Dune 2" business! Frank takes a trip to the desert world of Arrakis with his two trusty companions, Matt Sparacino and Mitch Lerner. The boys got super spicy and did a Dune double feature and then recorded a podcast about it. Join us for a discussion on all things sandworms, black goop, and Austin Butler. The prophecy is true: It's a great episode!
