FRAN VEAL
Mental Quicksand Be careful...because once you take that first step,
you're drawn in with little chance of backing out.
BUCK - AMAZON REVIEWER

Fran Veal fell in love with the book Little Women
in the third grade, and that was the spark that
ignited her desire to write. If Jo could write
then she felt she could, too. Her first attempt
at writing stories was in the fifth grade when
she began writing and drawing a cartoon for
her friends. The drawing, to be honest, was
terrible, but the stories must have been pretty
decent because a friend recently informed her
she'd kept some of them because “she always
knew Fran would be a writer someday. Fran
graduated to writing romance in ninth grade,
which was more interesting and, no, there
were no pictures (much to the readers' relief).
It wasn't until Fran had a teen daughter of her
own that she actually began writing again.
Finding My Escape was her debut novel. The
sequel, Finding My Way Back was released
August 23, 2013 and the third and final book in
the series will be coming out in early 2014.
She's also working on a comedy geared more
toward adults, Five Strikes, with fellow writer,
Bryden Lloyd.
Fran currently resides in the beautiful city of
Murfreesboro, TN with her husband of twentyseven years, fifteen year old daughter, and one
extremely snarky cat.

From FINDING MY ESCAPE
My life was shattered when I walked in to find my
parents being murdered. He almost got me, too.
The killer, I mean. The police say it was a home
invasion, but I don't believe it. I just wish the
nightmares would stop. The same thing every night,
reliving it. Tripping over my dad's body...hearing my
mother scream. I can't take this any more!
So I run. I run to forget. I run to get away.
And then I meet Josh. He helps me forget, for a
while, anyway.
solutely perfect.
