Before turning to full-time writing, Frank Butterworth worked as a professor of genetics and cell biology. He also wrote numerous scientific papers and edited major books on environmental monitoring, showing a career built on careful research and close attention to detail.

As an author, he has focused on nonfiction and biography. He coauthored Paul Gauguin's Son: The Life and Times of Emile Gauguin with David McIntyre, a book connected to family history as well as broader historical research.
