A recent telecommunications retiree, CF Frizzell ("Friz") is the recipient of the Golden Crown Literary Society's 2015 Debut Author Award for her novel, Stick McLaughlin: The Prohibition Years. Friz discovered her passion for writing in high school and went on to establish an award-winning twenty-two-year career in community newspapers that culminated in the role of founder/publisher.
She credits powerhouse authors Lee Lynch and Radclyffe, and the generous family that is Bold Strokes Books, for inspiration. A lifelong Massachusetts resident, Friz is into history, New England pro sports, and singing and acoustic guitar--and living on Cape Cod, just an hour from Provincetown, with her wife, Kathy.
