Ms. Frances has been writing for many years and has always kept journals and photographs of places she has visited. Most of her work is from these places. From M. Cobilet's famous mansion, which can be found in St. Clair, Michigan, to the island home Det. Thrower spends his summers at, all are places she has been. While fiction is her niche, she uses experience and memory to weave her tales bringing characters into these places. From the desert southwest to Florida and up into the midwest, readers will often find themselves in the middle of one of her books. All they have to do is, look, and imagine.
