Howard Frank Mosher is a contemporary author of ten books: nine fiction and one non-fiction. Much of his fiction takes place in the mid-20th century and all of it is set in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, a region loosely defined by the three counties in the northeastern corner of the state (Essex, Orleans, and Caledonia).

Mosher taught English at Orleans High and Lake Region during his early years.

Mosher lives with his wife, Phillis, in Irasburg, Vermont.
