Let's Talk About It

Thoughts, reflections, and behind-the-scenes moments from Fran’s writing journey. Pull up a chair and join the conversation — every story starts with a shared thought.

I just finished reading Weeper, and it’s absolutely wonderful! The story made me smile, brought tears to my eyes, and stirred up cherished memories of adopting our beloved late dog, Chloe, from the shelter. Fran Litch’s writing style is so natural and engaging—once I started reading, I couldn’t put it down. The story flows beautifully from beginning to end. I give it two enthusiastic thumbs up!

My granddaughter was bullied at school and today, in high school, the girls are best friends. You use very descriptive vocabulary. I liked the continuous rhythm of the story, very creative. No criticism just praise.

I’ve always had problems focusing when I read, but her style of writing brought the images to life in such a way that I couldn’t wait to turn the page. I actually finished reading the book. I definitely recommend it.
