edit data

S.V. Farnsworth speaks four languages and has lived in South Korea. She teaches English as a second language at Crowder College in Neosho, Missouri.

Farnsworth writes immersive deep-shelf fiction with noble characters battling dark worlds.

When forces split them apart, how do they come together?

Modutan Empire series', Woman of the Stone and Monarch in the Flames are epic fantasy with an appeal to readers who connect with #MeToo concerns and admire strong female characters.

Hard Start: Mars Intrigue and Tidal Pulse: Mars Revolution are space opera for readers who love it as much as they enjoy their furry brown Chewbacca slippers.

A Rare Connection is contemporary romantic suspense and a clean read.
