BUY FRANKIE'S BOOK
GRAND THEFT GIRO AND OTHER STORIES from the streets, the schemes, and the cells, told with grit, heart, and gallows humour.
“Scotland has no shortage of literature about forgotten strata within society, but few are written with the honesty and authenticity of Grand Theft Giro.”
~ Danny McCahon
★★★★★
“The result is a rollercoaster of emotion: belly laughs through sharp banter, hope that rises and crashes with circumstance, and heart-twisting grief when tragedy inevitably strikes.”
~The Fun Lovin Liminal’s

About Frankie
Frankie writes about the people and places many would rather forget. Born in Port Glasgow and raised between shipyards, prison yards, and the pubs that filled the gaps, his stories capture the absurdity, pain, and humour of working-class Scotland. There are no fairy-tale endings here — just truth, raw and unpolished.
more bio
I need to write an 'About the Author' section to share Frankie's story, his humanity, his warmth, his humble self-effacing assessment of his own work - and how he himself positions his writing within the current literary landscape, of Scotland, and especially the local writing community - his inspirations, his current writing projects and involvement with the Inverclyde creative writing scene.
