J.D. Frandsen
J.D. Frandsen is the author of Like Lions Purring, and his work has appeared in Johns Hopkins Magazine (Johns Hopkins University), Inside Knowledge (NYU Press), The Corcoran Review, and Earth First Journal, among others.
Mr. Frandsen belongs to the lunatic fringe and is a pale member of the First Nations. He moves only on mustang-ponies and speaks mostly with pit-bulls — he keeps his gunpowder dry and his war club next to his monkey wrench. He lives outside of Mexico City with his best friend Fancy, and believes flowers are more beautiful alive, so he does not pick them. He is in love with Wyoming.

Like Lions Purring
Steeped in jazz, regret, addiction, faith, violence, and urban decay, Like Lions Purring follows damaged lives moving through the forgotten corners of an unforgiving American city. Its characters carry old wounds, buried guilt, broken loyalties, and the stubborn hope that something human might survive beneath all the ruin.
Raw, lyrical, and unflinching, this literary noir explores the people society leaves behind and the choices that keep echoing long after the moment has passed. It is a story about the lost, the used, and the fragile scraps of grace that remain when almost everything else has burned away.
