My name is Howard, but I write under the pen name of Frank Sperry. "Frank" is taken from my favorite short story writer, Frank O'Conner, and "Sperry" was my Mother's maiden name. I'm 76 years old and retired. I began writing short stories a few years ago and began again just recently. My wife Rita and I are raising our 12 year old grandson, Tyler. So far all of my stories have been written from the viewpoint of a 7 or 8 year old boy.(i.e my Grandson)
