I am a mom, a teacher, a student and a lover of the written word, especially God's Word--which is why my first two books were devotionals. Wisdom is in short supply in so much of our world, so I go right to the top. If you like my posts, check out my books on Amazon.com (Fran Driscoll/Roberts). If there's such a thing as a clean murder mystery with a little romance, that's what you'll get. "A Place Called Grace" starts with an abused 4 year old escaping with her grandma to Mississippi. But "step-dad" Cullen Beal has been making money from Sheanna's innocent beauty, so he's on their trail. "A Place Without Mercy" ends Cullen's reign of terror, but at a terrible cost. The third, stand-alone book in the series is “A Broken Place,” which begins with a chance meeting in Puerto Rico and ends in a stand-off in New Orleans. Of course, I have a couple of new stories in the works, so there's more of Leah and Sheanna coming. If you see anything really unique that you think would make a great story, let me know. I love to collect stories as much as read and write them.

Comments, please–would you keep reading?

For a second, Kindred wondered why Castillo was still single. He was in great shape for a thirty-something and except for his full head of wavy hair, he was a dead ringer for Bruce Willis in “Die Hard.” The thought scared her, and she stuffed this observation down deep where it should never resurface. Suddenly […]

America Is Great Because…

James Matheson and Andrew Reed were the ones who said America was great because she was good, and that if we cease to be good, we’ll lose our greatness. I don’t live in a bubble. I know there is evil in the world, and this country has often failed to live up to the wisdom […]

Mercy!

One thing that has slapped me across the face during this COVID-19 pandemic is that there are a slew of people who assume too much and have never been taught how to properly relate to others. Have we completely lost the ability to explain things? Is there no way to think things through before sending […]

Treat Yourself on St. Patrick’s week

I’m very proud of my Irish heritage though I’m a true American mosaic. Talk about a people group that was abused and bounced back–if you ever get a chance to go the the Heritage Center in Skibbereen, you will get quite an education. The Potato Famine was no such thing. Food was being shipped to […]

Three Novels I Think You’ll Enjoy

I am a book hoarder. The head of my bed is full of books. I have a kindle with dozens of books on it. I have bookshelves full of books. If that isn’t enough, I also write stories. I love short stories, historical fiction, romance, political nonfiction, sci-fi, and murder mysteries. From Terri Blackstock to […]

A Quiet Dog’s Wrath

My oldest, biggest dog is extremely laid back. The two young dogs will mess with him, and it takes a lot for him to even growl, much less chase one away. My youngest, smallest dog is a bully. Hope will steal food, growl at anybody invading her space, & even try to boss everybody around. […]
