Neville D. Frankel

Neville Frankel is an Emmy award-winning writer of literary and historical fiction. 

A native of Johannesburg, South Africa, he immigrated to the US with his family at the age of 14.

Frankel received an Emmy for his work on a Frontline/BBC documentary and is the author of several works of historical
fiction: The Third Power, a well- reviewed political thriller about
the transformation of Rhodesia to Zimbabwe; Bloodlines, an apartheid-era novel called “fierce and thrilling” by Kirkus Review; and On the Sickle’s Edge, a National Jewish Book Award Finalist.
His latest novel merges historical fiction with magical realism, as it draws on Frankel’s experience as a boy growing up in Africa and his grandparents’ narrow escape from Nazi Germany.
