Hello World. Welcome to Annette Francine’s blog and thank you for visiting.
I’ll start by saying that I don’t consider myself particularly brilliant, wise, remarkable or interesting, so I feel pretty silly and uncomfortable posting a ‘blog’. But, I’m told by my friends and associates in the business that this is what an author must do to market his/her wares. I don’t know how often I’ll be posting updates (my life is just not that interesting), but feel free to check back whenever you please.
My philosophy: try to be a decent human being, and try to leave this world in better shape than I found it. You may find that a recurring theme in my stories.
I live in the metropolitan Phoenix area. After writing romantic suspense intended for traditional publishers, but discovering that I could not suppress the Christian themes and understories that persisted in my books, I fully subjected myself to my muse; resulting in the novels you see listed here.
While I truly hope that my readers find my stories both encouraging and uplifting, my characters do not always portray and should not be expected to reflect good examples of Christian behavior nor my personal attitudes. My stories do include explicit language and sexual content, which may offend ‘conservative’ Christians–although that is not my intention.
It’s important to me to help others and improve the circumstances of those in need. At least half of the proceeds from my novels are donated to Care, St Mary’s Food Bank, and the Wounded Warriors Project. If you did not purchase my book(s), or have it/them purchased for you as a gift, please consider donating the equivalent funds to a reputable humanitarian charity. (This does not mean I’m giving you permission to pirate my work, though. All my work is copyrighted, so please obey the law.)
So, thank you again for your interest. Please feel free to send a comment. If you have a criticism to share, I promise to fully consider it and thank you for taking the time to write. God bless and guide you.
