A passion for storytelling

My goal is to share meaningful stories that inspire readers to think, feel, and grow. I believe that great storytelling has the power to change lives.

For me, writing is a passion, a vocation, a lifelong mission to help people discover the joy of reading. I also love to help people to express themselves on the page. I believe reading and writing to be not only a source of entertainment, but a way to learn, grow, and connect with others.

Nonfiction

Frances has published two compelling memoirs and a writer’s resource guide. She blogs on Substack, and is presently working on a self-help book about creativity & spirituality. 

Romance with ghosts

“Claire Gem” writes romantic fiction with ghost stories intertwined. Her work has won awards in a number of competitions, including the NY Book Festival, RONE awards, and the American Fiction awards. 

Historical Romance

“Gemma St. Claire” is passionate about romance and history, particularly the Middle Ages. Let her take you on romantic journeys, back in time to when castles were called “home,” and chivalry was alive and well.
