Frank Weber on Oxygen’s Investigative show-- Snapped

I would like to thank everyone for my continued book sales, which are occurring predominantly by word of mouth at the present time. I was contacted by the producers of Snapped, which is a very popular investigative show on the Oxygen channel, regarding the book I’m currently writing: Burning Bridges. They will be flying a crew in next week to interview me on the case, and I’ll let people know when the show will air on national television.

In addition, I’ve been fortunate to have been asked to participate in a couple of virtual events.

As I’ve shared, Burning Bridges is based on a homicide that occurred in St. Cloud. The young woman sitting on the bridge is Kloe Kapsner. Her character in the book is Harper Rowe, a young woman who looks for her biological father, after her mother dies. Her mother had requested she never look him up. She discovers her father, Billy Blaze, is a man with a terrible history. (I include his actual criminal history in the book.)

And to top it off, her father has now disappeared. Harper enlists the help of Jon and Serena Frederick in finding her father, and with solving the ensuing murder mystery.

Here is your chance to give feedback on the cover. The front cover features the character Harper Rowe (Kloe Kapsner) dangling her feet over the Mississippi river. The picture involves a scene in the book where she is sitting on a bridge contemplating cutting ties to her past (burning bridges). The back cover features the Serena character (Elise Yates) celebrating a catharsis as the case is resolved. Please let me know which front and back cover shots you like best. (Send me the number.)
