Autorenporträt
I've loved to write and make up stories since I was a child. Characters and plots come to me regularly. Some stories don't make it past the imagining phase but every now and again an idea won't leave me alone, and the first draft of a new novel begins.I decided to take some creative writing courses as an adult which eventually led to a Creative Writing MA at Brunel University. Ever since then I have been honing my writing skills ghost writing, copy writing and creating blog content for companies.I was thrilled to have my debut novel, Holding Paradise, published by Indigo Dreams in 2014. The book and its characters sparked a series of short stories and a novella which, not published in their own right, led to the creation of the Island Secrets Series. I reinvented Holding Paradise and it became book 1 of the series, published in 2024. The year before that I published a stand alone book called Lovers.¿¿I'm currently working on a new book series and hope to publish the first of them in 2025.¿I moved from London to the English countryside with my musician husband where I teach vocals and lead a local choir. ¿I also write under the pseudonym, Rosa Temple, writing contemporary fiction and published by HQ Digital and Simon & Schuster UK.Connect with Fran on franclarkauthordotcodotuk for updates, news, giveaways and more!
