Featured Interview With Fran Connor
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I’m British living in SW France for the climate and lifestyle.
Two of my novels have been published, I have two more coming out in the new year and I have seven screenplays in my portfolio. Six of my plays have been produced on stage.
I grew up in the North of England and on leaving school worked on the railways before moving to London to join the Civil Service. Looking for a more exciting life I joined a South of England police force and spent thirty three years in that job before retiring and moving to France.
We have a dog, fish and chickens.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I have loved books since reading Doctor Doolittle as a child. Wandering around a library as a kid was as good as going to the beach.
I started writing when I moved to France thirteen years ago.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
Hemingway is up there as one of the best authors in my opinion but I like so many it is difficult to pick any of them over others.
My interests are in History and I’m a Romantic at heart so much of my work turns out to be Historical Romance. I’m also interested in the two world wars and the Spanish Civil War so these periods feature in much of my work
Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest book ‘The Devil’s Bridge’ by Fran Connor follows the life of Foxy, a privileged young man from an upper class British background, as he struggles through WW1, the intervening years and then WW2 all the while dogged by a strange presence that saved his life in the trenches. In return for saving him he must now obey its orders. His wife Louise becomes the forfeit if Foxy disobeys the presence. So Foxy has to keep his wife alive and outwit the presence, if he can.
