Ice Shift

There wasn’t ever any question as to whether Frank Massi would be able to drive his rig from New York to Port Angeles in Washington State without getting shot. He had been in this situation before – just on different highways. The real question was whether he would be able to get out of town before the bad guys found him.

There wasn’t ever any question as to whether Frank Massi would be able to drive his rig from New York to Port Angeles in Washington State without getting shot. He had been in this situation before – just on different highways. The real question was whether he would be able to get out of town before the bad guys found him. Having been this way before it was easy to evade the would-be killers who wanted what was in his trailer. Hot cars, hot ice, and hotter women were no match for cool Frank. Hop in. Take a ride.

Frank Spado is a published poet, and copyrighted lyricist, penning words to songs for Jennie, his wife, and the lead vocalist to the classic country band, which they both founded. While still in high school, in the early 1960s, Frank volunteered for military service in the Marine Corps. He started driving trucks over the road shortly after his honorable discharge. Although this is a work of fiction, Frank has incorporated many truths about his life on the road into the fabric of his stories. Frank loved the open road and during all those long lonely drives passing from one state to the next, he pondered stories and plots evolving around situations that he encountered over the thousands of miles he traveled. If you want to know who Frank Spado is, just read the book. He’s in there. What could he say about his life that would be exciting to anyone other than himself? He bungee jumped, para-sailed, delivered fur coats to famous people. He worked on movie location sets making sandwiches for the stars. He lived in San Diego before there was a bridge to Coronado Island and the only way there was by ferry. He built his own house in the woods, on a river in central Minnesota. His life has been as full and colorful as the characters in this book and Frank has many more stories to tell. Frank Spado lives with his wife Jennie in Arizona.
