Frances Clarke

Biography

I am now working on a new book. I wish I could say 'busily working' but it would have to be 'imperceptibly' if you forced me to choose an adverb. I have a first draft ready but there it sits. The other day I moved it (contained as it is in a notebook) from a room upstairs to a room downstairs. Well - that was work.
I can be contacted through my blog via the comments. I always get notification by email when I have comments.

Unusual Salami and Other Stories by Frances Clarke
Price: $2.99 USD. 32820 words. Published on January 1, 2011. Fiction.

(5.00 from 6 reviews)
With humour ('Imaginary Col')or strange lyrical horror (the title story) the characters in this collection struggle to make sense of life with sometimes dreadful consequences. Greg is weirdly empowered by reading a book, Anna escapes an enchantment (or does she?) God creates the world and Arkle is... well, Arkle. Although what IS that raggy brown stuff under the tree in 'Pneumonia'?

The Glassblower's Daughter by Frances Clarke

(5.00 from 7 reviews)
Greta's life is carefree until the abrupt disappearance of her elder sister, and all her courage can't save her from the sinister shadows that engulf her. Even when she finds a way out betrayal and treachery threaten her.

Smashwords book reviews by Frances Clarke

The Defector on Oct. 12, 2010

Tense and gripping, full of unexpected twists and then a stunning sequence involving a yacht chase - and a believeably human male lead as well. Great book.
The Wrecking Crew on Oct. 27, 2010

I was so pleased to find that 'The Defector' by Mark Chisnell, had a SEQUEL! This book is fabulous! If you like excitement and can bear to be kept on the edge of your seat then this is the book to read!
Strategy Guide for American Idol Hopefuls on Jan. 24, 2011

What a USEFUL and also FRIENDLY book! It is right to the point, a manageable length even if you hate reading and SO full of good advice. Also, the things Brian, that you say, could be applied to other things than singing/entering American Idol. I'm a struggling writer and it all makes sense for me too. I must go, I feel the need to hone my sponge dodging skills!
