About the author
Frank Chamberlain is a writer based in Brierley Hill in England’s West Midlands. In material published on his own site and author pages, he says he has lived in Brierley Hill since 1999 and has worked in a wide range of jobs, including flower seller, market manager or supervisor, web designer, IT support manager, college tutor, and lecturer.
His debut novel, Misconception, is a thriller set in 1941. Interviews about the book say it grew out of his long fascination with the Black Country, especially after childhood visits to the Black Country Living Museum, and that he imagined a fictional town built from the character and history of the region.
Beyond his fiction, Chamberlain appears closely involved in local cultural and heritage projects in Brierley Hill. News coverage links him with community work around local events, historic preservation, and cultural initiatives, which fits the strong sense of place that comes through in his writing.
