Frank Tuttle writes and lives in the wilderness of Northern Mississippi. He tried to write about southern things (like trucks and hound dogs), but magic and other fantasy elements just kept cropping up in his work instead. So Frank Tuttle is a fantasy author. That being said, sometimes hound dogs do pop up in his books. Tuttle is also a self published author and claims he thought that if he wrote for a living, that it would allow him to avoid doing honest, real work. He did not know how wrong he would be about that.

In the nineties, Frank Tuttle’s early work has appeared in Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Fantasy Magazine and Weird Tales. Since then, he has written the “Markhat” series and the young adult series called “Paths of Shadow” series, as well as some short fiction collections. He even wrote a book where he gives young writers tips and tricks about how to write stories.
