Author of The Man Who Built Boxes: and other stories, (Bacon Press Books, 2013).
If you’re an NPR listener, then you already know Frank Tavares. For many years, he was called “The Most Heard Voice†on public radio. Until the winter of 2014 listeners across the country heard him dozens of times a day as the man who said, "Support for NPR comes from NPR stations and from. . . ." after every national news and information program.
Frank has been writing his entire professional life. He started publishing fiction in the 2000s, and his short stories have appeared in a variety of literary journals and anthologies including Louisiana Literature, Connecticut Review, Story Quarterly, The GW Review, and The Seventh Wave.
Most recently he was Professor of Organizational Communication at Southern Connecticut State University. He was also a founding editor and a member of the editorial board of The Journal of Radio and Audio Media.
