About The Author

Frankie Tan

After spending half of his life working in the banking industry, he wants to return to one of his passion and pastime, which is writing and telling stories! He has in his collection tales of weird and wonder, scary and strange, and he hopes Amazon will be a good platform for him to share all the tales he had heard and shared by his family and friends, and bring Singapore, a little island in the Southeast Asia, a step closer to the world's literature scene!

As the Ancient Chinese proverb goes: 书中自有黄金屋 (shu zhong zi you huang jin wu) which roughly translates to: "There is knowledge as precious as a house built with Gold in a book."

He also wants to craft tales and stories for easy reading, so the younger generation will read instead of doom scrolling on social media. Read a book!
