Frank Jenkins

Frank Jenkins is the author of the Life of Mocata series, published by Harper Collins. In addition to his work on the first four volumes of the series (with a fifth on the way), Jenkins has also served as a commentator on the paranormal paperback genre, writing such works as ''UFO Books: The New Art Form? (1991) and The Smell of the Must: Probing Paperbacks for Perilous Truth ''(1993).

According to the Author's Notes, Jenkins was born in Saint Paul, Minnesota in 1966 and was an avid reader of contemporary sci-fi writers, including Philip K. Dick and Ray Bradbury. He was also interested in fantasy and sci-fi movies, which inspired him to experiment with acting; he stated that he had "bit parts" in various low-budget films, including a 2009 production called Spooky Skeleton Geckos from Outer Space--the plot of which he later incorporated into The Life of Mocata via the Reunion Project. His real passion, however, lay in writing, and he began to be published in the early '90s with his aforementioned studies of the paranormal and paranormal paperbacks. His big break was with the Life of Mocata series. Jenkins' writing career was also marked by his friendship with Yaubus Redford, who wrote Kuru; or, the Zombies among others.
