Frank Wydra’s first novel, The Cure, Dell, is a medical thriller about a researcher who discovers the cure for AIDS and is assassinated before he can announce his findings to the world.
Currently, Wydra’s agent, Beverley Slopen, is marketing his latest novels Way of the Moth and Jaxon's Justice both featuring the sophisticated Detroit P.I. Matt Jaxon and the investigators of the Jaxon Agency.
Wydra’s short stories have appeared in Ellery Queen and Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazines, with Street Justice published most recently in the November 2007 AHMM. Firsts, The Book Collector's Magazine, will feature his essay, Collecting Loren Estleman in the November 2007 issue.
Wydra writes a monthly blog for writers and readers on the popular www.storytellersunplugged.com website where thirty professionals share insights on the writing life. Wydra’s column appears on the 13th of each month and is usually set in the fictional Al's Gonquin Bar, a parody of the famous literary meeting place of the post-WWI era, The Algonquin Hotel. The Gonquin Bar features fictional discussions by notable dead writers on the various aspects of writing. The regulars around the discussion table are Mary Shelley, Edgar Allen Poe, Papa Hemingway, and Bram Stoker.
