A graduate of the Sorbonne and Leicester University, Frankie Pauly worked in journalism and communications before devoting herself to fiction. Inspired by English literature, ancient Egypt and a lifelong love of storytelling, she writes fantasy, historical mysteries and supernatural fiction. Beneath the magic, mystery and romance, her stories explore the passions, frailties and complexities of human nature. She lives in the South of France, where she divides her time between writing, reading and supporting fellow independent authors.
