ACERCA DEL AUTOR:
Passing through the doors of clinical offices, university ivory towers, hospitals, Catholic seminaries and jails, Dr. Frank Seitz has rubbed elbows with some real characters (some of whom now wander through his novels).
Dr. Frank tried the rocking chair following his retirement as a Clinical and Forensic Psychologist. It didn't work. During his professional years in private practice and teaching medical students, he published two dozen professional articles, four books and a musical. Writing, not rocking, remains his passion.
