Book Discussion with Journalist, Writer, and Producer Doug McIntyre

{pages} is pleased to welcome Doug McIntyre journalist, writer and producer who is celebrating publication of his first novel, Frank’s Shadow. Locals are familiar and devoted fans of Doug and know his work well. Doug is the host of McIntyre in the Morning, he is the beloved emcee for many of the Distinguished Speaker Series event, he worked on popular TV shows like Married with Children and WKRP.

In Frank's Shadow, newlywed Danny McKenna’s honeymoon ends abruptly when he learns his father has died, uncannily, on the same day as his hero, Frank Sinatra. Returning home to his knotty Irish American family, Danny is confronted with a painful truth—while he knows everything about the famous singer, his own father is a mystery. Tasked with giving a eulogy for a man he hardly knows, Danny sets out to uncover his dad’s past—an immigrant’s tale of mid-twentieth-century America and the harsh realities of WWII lived in stark contrast to Frank Sinatra’s famously extravagant life.
