About
Francis W. Porretto was born in 1952. Things went steadily downhill from there.
Fran is an engineer, fictioneer, and commentator who lives on the east end of Long Island, New York. He’s short, bald, homely, has bad acne and crooked teeth. His neighbors hold him personally responsible for the decline in local property values. His life is graced by one wife, two stepdaughters, two dogs, three cats, too many power tools to list, and an old ranch house furnished in Early Mesozoic style. His 13,000 volume (and still growing) personal library is considered a major threat to the stability of the North American tectonic plate.
Fran's novels include science fiction, contemporary spiritual fantasy, family sagas, romance, and Christian erotica (no kidding). His short stories are even more diverse. He also rants with appalling regularity about politics, culture, and faith at his blog “Liberty's Torch:” http://bastionofliberty.blogspot.com/

Mr. Porretto, just what is going on here? I didn’t ask to have my office jammed with all these bodies.
Fran Porretto: Rather than do a “straight” interview, which tends to bring out my discursive nature, I thought I might change things up a little. So I rounded up some of my favorite characters and brought them here so you can talk to them. Enjoy! I always do.

Mrs. Eisenbud -- may I call you Sylvie? Thank you -- how hard was it to put up with Mr. Porretto as he charted the course of the great romance of your middle years?
Sylvie Yngstrom Eisenbud: Well, it was no bed of roses, let me tell you! The man has a mind like a pretzel. Whatever you think he has in mind for you, his next move will come out of left field. You simply can’t anticipate him. I got a terrible case of neck strain from trying.
