Nick is, when we start off, he is the richest man in San Francisco who also happens to be a gay private eye.Jeff: That’s an interesting combination that you could be the richest man in San Francisco and be a PI gay or otherwise.Frank: Well, and what he does is, in fact, the very first chapter, he turned somebody away because she kind of comes sauntering in and starts using language she doesn’t like. So that seems a very appropriate place to start.Tell us about this series and who Nick Williams is.Frank: Well, it’s the first series, the first book in that series, “The Unexpected Heiress” is where I started. And 32 of those are part of the “Nick Williams Mystery” series. It’s kinda cool.Jeff: So you have, as I was looking through your backlist, you’ve got nearly 50 books, which is pretty awesome.
His mother disappeared when he was about seven, and he didn’t know where she went. He had a really difficult childhood. But, so Nick is, like I said, he’s a private eye. He’ll drop a hundred as a tip, and as Carter at one point says like busboys are sending prayers, doormen everywhere, burning candles at midnight, hoping that you’ll stop in, you know, that sort of thing.So that’s a fun part of it. And then his secretary immediately, it’s like you turned away another one, but he and, Carter, which is his lover, they live actually in Eureka Valley, which is what is now known as the Castro in like a really unassuming bungalow.And although they’ve got millions, they’re not really flaunting it other than Nick is kind of famous for if he goes out to dinner and you know, in 1953 a really nice dinner would’ve been about 12 bucks.
Like the culminating event happens on the steps of the, it’s not the Capitol. The action, speaking of Sacramento, happens there at the very end. So book 32 is the last one. And it’s, you know, a love of a lifetime kind of thing.These 32 books, by the way, are the complete series of the mysteries.
They kind of are afraid that J Edgar Hoover is going to finally like move in and try and do something to them. And a lot of things happen, Nick and Carter ended up moving to France after. Just a few months after governor Reagan is inaugurated.The first series goes from 53 to 67.
So I was like, 32 is perfect. The part of me that likes symmetry was very pleased with that. It’s like eight book titles with four rows. And then I was like 32 is better because in a display. Like that’s a good place to start.
Also, you know, and they’re coming in, and I try not to like advertise that too much, although it’s fine that people know it, but it’s more fun to me to let people kind of discover, Oh, these are actually allJeff: When you created Nick, did you envision this whole universe and all these books?Frank: Nope. I could tell a lot of it was connected.Frank: I do not put it out as an obvious thing upfront.You have to be into the books to begin to realize, Oh, these characters actually work in this series. Cause I didn’t get that aspect of it as I was kind of researching. So I have multiple series, but they’re all interconnected.Jeff: That is so cool. And everything that I write is in that same universe.
Although if there’s some books, you already kind of know what’s going to happen cause it’s discussed. And I won’t to talk about the details. I kind of woke up and I was like, I need to write this book.That’s about when they die cause I need to kind of know where this is going. And then I wrote the final story one morning. It actually, it published on June 1st again, makes me very happy symmetry wise and I wrote that one, “The Amorous Attorney” and The Sartorial Senator” back to back.Then I wrote a prequel called “An Enchanted Beginning,” which tells their backstory that goes from like 47 until 50 and explains to people that they refer to and talks about kind of how they got together and what happened in the intervening years.
And I was like, well, I can’t have a series that has 100 books in it, so I need to at least break them up into segments, you know?Because I could easily see a hundred books just with Nick and Carter.Jeff: That’s awesome that you have that much going on in the universe, that you see that far ahead.Frank: I wanted to know because they’re, as they moving into time where I’m alive and I’m aware of what happened in there, you know, in the part of the world that they live in. And at one point I was like, because of my numbering system, how I keep internal stuff, but there’s only two digits. But, when I wrote that, then I realized, Oh, I have a lot of books to write because I could kind of see the pacing.And I thought, yeah, from in the span of years that I’m looking at.
