Run, River, Run – InD’Tale Magazine Book Review 

Five Stars ***** “An enthralling tale mixed with tragedy, treachery, and triumph “Run, River, Run” delivers goosebumps of both the suspenseful and sensuous kind!”

InD’Tale Magazine Book Review – Explosive Touch  

“If one likes steamy romance mixed with sexy military men and the fiery independent women they love, “Explosive Touch” is a must-read! Even though the plot is predictable, the unique twist of shared trauma being the catalyst to ignite a scorching romance makes this story enjoyable. The dynamics of brothers-in-arms coming together to support each other and their protective and respectful feelings for their women shine off the page with a spark of humor. The suspense of being stalked by an unknown killer while dealing with post-traumatic stress will have readers holding their breath as they wait for the next shoe to drop! C. F. Francis’ third James Gang installment is a fast-paced thriller in a sultry locale with likable characters readers will cheer for!”

Book Signing

I’ll be signing copies of my recent release, Lovers Key, and Sanctuary Island, the first in The James Gang Series, at Annette’s Book Nook on the 12th of March from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.  Please stop by.  I’d love to meet you.

 

Release Day!


Lovers Key is now available!!! 

I hope you enjoy the second installment of The James Gang series.  Josie and Steve have some issues to deal with while the try to decipher a cryptic message she’s received from an old friend.  Someone wants that information badly.  Badly enough to kill for it.

I’m already working on the third in the series.  My hope is to have this one out by summer of 2018 but Lovers Key didn’t go as planned so I don’t want to make any promises just yet.

If you enjoy Lovers Key, don’t forget to leave a review with your retailer and/or on Goodreads.  Thanks for sticking with me.
