About the author

After writing poems and short stories for a number of years, I finally got brave and wrote a book which is the first of a series. It's a paranormal romance called Where Will You Run? I live with my amazing husband, 2 crazy kids, my dad, two dogs and the rest of the Franco zoo.

Reviews

[Justin Bog · Rating 5 out of 5]

I received a copy, but not for review (even though I am recommending the short story here). I must say I do know the author as full disclosure, and she wanted to creep me out with Basement Games, and has succeeded. I did follow along with the main character, an unsavory chap who is stuck in a pattern of madness, and I hoped he would also receive a righteous comeuppance. There is an almost predictable outcome, but this doesn't take away from the suspense set-up whatsoever. I love to read suspense and psychological suspense the best and M.E. Franco has a flair for it. I look forward to this author's first suspense thriller novel.
