"Good Wine, Fine Chocolate and Dangerous Men"

Bio: Despite a tragic predilection to paint, Frances finally discovered her calling as a writer sometime in her mid thirties. She set aside her degree in visual art, packed up the easel and opened her laptop. As a lifetime reader of Science Fiction and Fantasy, the stories that clammer for her attention inevitably fall into the Speculative Fiction category. She maintains that the Romance is not her fault, though her attempts to deny it seem a tad suspicious, all things considered. She currently resides in Washington State with her husband, two small children, and a host of unusual and exotic pets. When not wrangling toddlers, or writing like mad, she can be heard bemoaning her lack of free time to spend: rock hounding, belly dancing, painting(yes, still) or enjoying quiet time with her family. Frances eats far too much chocolate, drinks far too little wine and does her best to get the stories out and on paper before they drive her completely insane.   Contact Frances: author@francespauli.com     home  |  bio  |  works    |  blog   |  links  | news  |

"But the Captain..." Jo thought of the lined face and found it difficult to paint him as the villain.

"Charismatic bastard, isn't he?" Hilary continued to eat, but eyed Jo carefully over her plate.

"You don't like him," Jo asked. To her surprise, Mrs. Varitan actually snorted.

"Oh, I like him all right--can't really help but. But he's IMC to the core, Jo."

  Hilary's square face softened despite her harsh tone. "Don't forget that.

The Captain has a job to do and, by God, he's going to do it."
