JD Frain

Frain gave up his quest for the legitimate life and chose to pursue a career in writing. [Pause for laughter.] Common sense notwithstanding, it was a great move.

His most recent score was “2,000 Miles From Vegas,” which ran in the November/December 2023 issue of Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine. Earlier in the year, he landed “Three Six Three,” a baseball story in the pages of Twin Bill. And prior to that was the eerie “Devil of a Deal” in the Christmas 2022 anthology aptly titled Eerie Christmas 2.

Earlier sales included “The Guest Room” in the online magazine Flash Bang Mysteries, “Open House” in the print edition of Detective Mystery Stories, and others that will make this entry go too long. 

Meanwhile, if you want to sample some of his writings, check out some flash on the fiction page. About 100 words each, you can bet it took him longer to write than it will for you to read.
