Frankie, the story: Raymond Mason, AI genius, rarely brings his work home. Then late one afternoon he brings his latest, most humanlike creation. Raymond knows his wife will be charmed. No way! Julia Mason feels competitive and threatened. For one thing, Raymond touches Frankie in a romantic way.

Julia is hostile and drinks too much. She passes out as Professor Mason runs upstairs to find a gun. An hour later Julia wakes to find her husband dead and Frankie gone. Julia, semi-hysterical, races into the night to find the missing masterpiece.

Simon, a grad-school drug dealer, falls in love with Frankie. He realizes he can build a cult around this spiritually evolved woman. First, he has to hide her.

For different reasons, many people search frantically for Frankie. Meanwhile, more unexplained deaths are reported. Panic sweeps the state of New Jersey. Some experts think that humanity is dealing with an alien invasion.

Dr. Jamison, the pathologist, notes that he has never seen so many beautiful corpses.

Frankie is mixed genre, ensemble cast. About AI in the immediate future.

By meeting Frankie, people meet themselves.

I'm particularly interested in the interactions and misunderstandings that will occur as robots get smarter. See Frankie.zone for more info.

Frankie is best described as A Unique Mystery

Too Easy is noteworthy because published by Simon & Schuster and hailed by Kinky Friedman as the “unwed mother of all page-turners.” Translated into French, German, and Dutch. Also published in UK. Soon to be reissued by S&S as an e-book..... American Dreams, published in 1984, is arguably the most successful experimental novel, after perhaps Naked Lunch .

Also, Price also wrote 10-page poem called "Theoryland," a satire of academic posturing. Arguably, the most entertaining long poem in American literature. It's in book form on Amazon but it can also be read on several websites.
