Frank Curtiss, once referred to as “The Will Rogers of Country Poetry”, was raised during The Great Depression in a quaint little Harbor Town, Fairport, Ohio. Frank joined the Air Force as a young man and served his country with pride during the Korean War. His wife later wrote that “Frank didn’t consider it a bit unmanly to pen a poem or two to his lady fair!” Following that came a lifetime of writing down his thoughts as he would go through his days, and for many of those years as a milkman—faithfully serving his community. Today, as a senior, he is looking forward to sharing our first compilation of his delightful, romance poetry for the Common Man—and woman! Sometimes serious, sometimes playful, a surprise of dry or self-deprecating humor when least expected! Sit down and relax as you read through. We think you’ll love it! Our first book, Thinkin’ About You, makes a great selfie gift for your coffee table, sure to bring laughs and comments if passed around when company comes! Without a doubt it’s a thoughtful gift for that special someone who may need a lift, a laugh, or just to show you care! Personalize it by choosing a poem or more, then write the page numbers in on the special page designed just for that. Then your recipient can open their book and see right away what poems reminded you of them! Candace Edmonds Frank’s daughter, co-author and illustrator
