Frances M. Thompson writes stories about bisexual disaster heroes usually getting the HEAs they deserve in her spicy contemporary romance... but sometimes getting into a lot of trouble in her suspense thrillers.

Frances loves chatting with her readers and the best places to do so is in her Facebook Readers' Group or on Instagram.

Originally from London, UK, but now based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Frances is the author of the contemporary (and steamy!) romances, Five Sunsets, The Moon Also Rises, and Let Love Rule, sapphic romances Hummingbird and Butterflies, three short story collections (Shy Feet Short Stories Inspired by Travel, London Eyes Short Stories, and Nine Women: Short Stories), a collection of poetry called Lover Mother Othe

The theme connecting the stories in the collection is London and all of the stories are set there.

While all the stories are fictional, they draw heavily on my own experience of growing up and living as a young adult in various parts of London. The stories are about very different people at very different stages of their lives. There's the young woman keen to meet Mr Right, and a young man from Edinburgh who goes to unusual lengths to make friends in his neighbourhood. There's also the divorcee who decides to "date" London as part of her healing process and the very old man who discovers what all of the London Underground's abandoned stations are now used for...

I hope you enjoy!(less)
