edit data

Frances Evelyn was born in Coventry and now lives in Rutland with her husband, two sons, who are - for the moment - too old for stories and magic, and a cockerpoo who protects them from shadows.

After twenty rewarding years of teaching English and an interesting few in management, Frances writes for readers who love real-world fantasy that makes them feel and think.

Her latest book, Bibliomancer, is her favourite thing -- a book about books. Emily, the main character, volunteers to read to patients in a hospice until she's arrested in connection with a series of suspicious deaths.

Across the five books (four out so far) of The Changeling Tree series, Frances combines tangled time-lines, family saga and Faerie. How do you tell a secret no-one ...more

I set up a week long launch event on Facebook, beginning when my book came out. I pushed it out to my followers an
