Author, Story Grid Editor Valerie Francis: An Interview
b'
Canadian writer, Valerie Francis, is a best-selli
ng author of fiction for women and children. She\\u2019s so obsessed with the craft of storytelling that she\\u2019s started an online book club featuring stories by, for and about women.
Originally published under the pseudonym, Robin St. Croix, "Masquerade is a love story designed for busy women on the go. At a dinner party one night, Valerie\\u2019s friends (all avid readers and busy women) confessed that due to their hectic schedules, they didn\\u2019t read as much as they used to. So, Valerie designed a book in 12 parts that could easily be read on a cell phone while they waited in dentists\\u2019 offices or stood on the sidelines of soccer fields. Each part is about the length of a glass of wine or a commute home. Guilt-free moments of escape for readers in their otherwise chaotic days!

The second is focused entirely on book marketing on "The Book Launch Show."\\xa0 And, UP, the "Unpodcast Show," it\'s new and is focusing on character development with a focus on wants and needs of character.
