\"Francene<\/a><\/p>\n

First things first. What is art?<\/p>\n

The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Works produced by skill and imagination.<\/em><\/p>\n

What does it mean to me?\u00a0I’m a mature writer with a passion to express good triumphing over evil, and the concept that thoughts are real things, in the form of a novel.<\/p>\n

When I was younger, science fiction inspired me. Each novel I read told a story using one precept which changed reality from the present day. For instance, the writer Ayn Rand showed how the world would be if\u00a0Atlas\u00a0<\/em>(representing the brilliance of inventors)\u00a0Shrugged<\/em><\/a>. In her novel, when the world lacked thinkers to hold civilization together, it quickly descended into a primitive state.<\/p>\n

With the medium of words expressed through a plot, I weave believable stories. The reader can vicariously live another life through the characters, cheer for the hero or heroine, understand the unscrupulous cad, and boo for the scoundrel. As each character grows during the story, the reader will advance with them.<\/p>\n

Each of my stories contains a character with an extraordinary feature. One sees auras, and another experiences visions in which she is transported into another body and whispers advice.\u00a0 No life goes smoothly\u2014and there’s the delightful quandary for any story.<\/p>\n

Through the ages, the battle has raged between: men\/women, good\/evil, abundance\/scarcity, friendship\/loneliness. Beneath the surface, we are all the same despite nationality, tradition, and status. We share humanity with all its associated pitfalls and triumphs and the constant need to achieve balance. I write novels in an effort to bring my skill and imagination together.<\/p>\n

\"Francene<\/a>The Moonstone <\/em>series focuses on Liliha, a modern woman, who wears an ancient ring which gives her visions. The newly released\u00a0Tidal Surge<\/em><\/a>\u00a0follows\u00a0the first book,\u00a0Still Rock Water<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

A colleague and I wrote the Higher Ground<\/em> futuristic series consisting of four published novels. The books feature a group of people from Corn World who join Cerridwen on a trip to find a ring mentioned on an ancient plaque. In order, the novels are:\u00a0Wind Over Troubled Waters, Knights in Dark Leather<\/a>, Golden Submarine<\/a><\/em>\u00a0& just released\u00a0Long Doom Calling<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Both series have found publishers who believed in the novels’ quality.<\/p>\n

Is this art? You be the judge.<\/p>\n
