I had the pleasure of interviewing Frankie Y Bailey for WOW! Women on Writing’s Dark and Twisty issue. If you’re like my mom and have a love of mystery writing, this is the issue for you. My husband gave me a copy of Frankie’s book The Red Queen Dies a few years ago as a Christmas gift, and I loved it. The book takes place in Albany, NY, which I live outside of, and I learned about the Yellow Brick Road that runs through the city. My husband’s uncle lived near it, so I had a chance to check it out, which is very cool. Frankie is a fascinating person, and I could have filled volumes with her life story. She teaches, writes fiction, and nonfiction. As Frankie and I were working on her interview, I had the chance to meet her at the UAlbany Bookfest. It was exciting to meet in person.
