Frank Creed is an award-winning author who has writes primarily Biblical
speculative fiction. His short stories have appeared in anthologies and his most
recent novel: Flashpoint is due for release in March 2007.
At the age seven, his divorced, working mother sent him to a creative writing
program at the local library. From this tender age he knew that he wanted to be
an author. In High School, Marsha Stewart, his creative writing teacher, coached
him to a first-place tie at the UW-Whitewater Literary contest, where hundreds
of students from three states competed. His thirty-three years of life since then
have been filled with the tough times and tragedies necessary to torture a
serious writer's soul.
Frank dropped out of college to elope. He worked no job that paid more than
$8.50/hour until 1995. Divorced by twenty-two, he lived as a hedonist until his
mid-twenties. It was then that a friend introduced him to the writings of Biblical
Philosopher, Francis Schaeffer. Frank had only been a reader of fantasy and
science fiction novels, but Schaeffer's application of thesis-antithesis/ classical-
reasoning to the sphere of morality changed Mr. Creed forever. His reading-list
suddenly launched into theology, philosophy and history of western civilization.
It was in this year that his sister joined a Grotto of Anton LaVey’s Church of
Satan. Her soul at stake, Mr. Creed entered into a written debate with her
Satanic High Priest. During this time, he volunteered an article to the Grotto's
desktop published magazine, Diabolic Creation. After publication, he exchanged
letters with readers who'd responded to his work.
In the years that followed, Mr. Creed debated a variety of worldviews on internet
discussion boards, and has since then, found no credible counter to the
Cosmological or Axiological arguments for the existence of God.
On May 9th of 1998, Frank Creed survived a high-speed head-on collision that
broke him in half and induced a severe closed head injury. After living in a
delusional state for two weeks, it was the doctors opinion that with years of
therapy, Mr. Creed would only recover sixty percent of his mental capacity. Then
his pastor visited. They enjoyed a lucid conversation, and prayed. When Frank
awoke the next morning his delusional state had been healed. A fake hip and
pelvis likely dooms him to a wheelchair by age fifty, and his physical condition
severely challenged him in his profession as an auto-worker at Subaru of Indiana
Automotive.
Frank feels not only that the troubles in his life have refined him as a writer, but
the closed head injury was a blessing in disguise. Before the auto-accident he’d
begun his fantasy novella White Iron, which meandered and jammed, but, post-
accident, everything flowed. The course of his life at that moment changed. He
even married his editor! The influence of Francis Schaeffer, Ravi Zacharias and C.
S. Lewis has been profound. Mr. Creed states: “Collectively, I owe my salvation to
these men. However, I have a twelfth grade education and am self-educated. It
took re-reading for me to be able to grasp their Theological concepts. I looked
again at Lewis’ high prose fiction and understood my purpose in life.”
