Lynne Francis

Lynne Francis grew up in Yorkshire but now, having retired from managing a non-fiction publishing company, lives on the Kent coast.  Both counties provide settings for her novels, which are also inspired by a fascination with family history, landscapes and the countryside.  She is most drawn to the 18th and 19th centuries, with occasional forays into WW1.

Her first trilogy, the Mill Valley Girls series, published by One More Chapter, is set in Yorkshire, spanning  the 1780s to the 1920s,  Her Margate Maid and Castle Bay series are set in Kent and published by Piatkus. By coincidence she discovered after moving there that she has ancestral links to the area!
