It's possible that:
* The name is misspelled: Perhaps there's a similar name, like "Frank M. Dumas," or a slight variation in the spelling.
* The author is less known: It's possible this author wrote in a specific niche or under a different pseudonym.
* The information is incorrect: The source you got the name from could be mistaken.
To help me find the right author, could you please provide:
* Any other details you know about the author: Their full name, approximate time period they wrote in, any genres they wrote in, or even the titles of their works?
* The source of the information: Where did you hear about this author?
With more details, I can help you track down the writer and their works.
