Frank Perrotto Profile

My day job is television editor, but by night and (very early) mornings, I'm working towards a career as a self-published author. I have one book published on Amazon called Find the Needle: Diary of a Digital Outlaw.

The Cryptid Cabal is my newest series. It's about an illuminati-like, international organization that's trying to collect "six of the twelve" cryptids, a number that's as mysterious in purpose as the cabal's reasons for gathering such creatures. The plan (which has an end in mind) will span seven books, a few short stories, and perhaps a prequel or two. Each story covers a different time period of the 20th century with a different main character recruited by the Crypid Cabal for each creature. The seventh book, though, will be quite different and the story that takes place closest to modern day as it wraps up the story of those tasked with the actual recruitment of assistance and capture of the beasts.

The books will also not be released in chronological order. The first takes place in the 1970's and makes numerous vague references to the book that will follow by going backwards to the late 1960's with the attempt to capture the legendary "Mothman" in the coal-mining hills of West Virginia.

Book One is finished and in order to capture a following, I'm releasing it chapter-by-chapter on various platforms, then releasing an omnibus edition with "The Mothman" through Amazon KDP.
