Dying on the Edge Blog Tour with Francine Craft

Getting to know Francine Craft…

What is the best piece of advice you have received, from either a fan or a fellow author?
That’s easy.  When I –I’ll say whined – to a prominent writer about what I suffered in the past, she smiled and said, “But that’s what made you the writer you are.” Touché.

What is the one story you want to write, but haven’t?  What obstacles are keeping you from writing it?
I have several stories in mind and nothing is keeping me from writing them.  I will in due time.

How much of your own personal life is reflected in your writing?
Before Edge, some.  I have known and had relationships with several really great men that I considered good enough for any queen, so my romances reflect that.  But it’s Edge that reflects a lot of my life, without the drugs.  I’ve always been at least somewhat depressed and so would really be crazy to do drugs, but Edge reflects a couple of painful facets of my own life.
I must admit, it truly irritates me when I hear someone say, “I wonder if she’s done all that.  Oh, she must have,” of me and other authors.  I haven’t killed anybody and I never will, but I know how it feels to want to and yes, to do it.  Feelings are universal and we all empathize with others.

WAS HE LOOKING FOR A DEADLY WAY OUT?

  1. Wow Francine, you have lived a LIFE. Men worthy of a queen? Not to many saying that about their man. As far as the book, I'm convinced! SOLD

  2. As you know, I am a huge fan and I also consider you a good friend. I read this book and loved it but I love everything that you have written. I really enjoyed reading this article about you and your life. I can relate to a lot of the things that you stated about yourself as well. You put your thoughts on paper in your books.
