Franklin Newman was born in Shreveport, Louisana, which he considers his home. He was partially raised there, but has actually lived in several states.

He is a high-functioning autistic, and particularly loves writing stories about witches, along with "Sword & sorcery" type of stories, and superhero tales. This series allows him to combine these elements. Even as a child, he was known as "The story-teller" at school.

A practicing Wiccan, Franklin is seldom without his tarot cards, and often finds that they are quite useful in story-writing.

He currently resides in Idaho with his beloved cat, and is proud to be a janitor for Wal-Mart.
