About Francine Beaton | Romance Author of Heartfelt & Sporty Love Stories
Francine Beaton skryf die tipe romanses wat sy nog altyd self wou lees—verhale vol liefde, humor en karakters waarmee lesers werklik kan identifiseer. Hoewel sy veral bekend is vir haar gewilde rugbyreeks, is sy net so lief daarvoor om feestelike vakansieromanses met ’n Hallmark-gevoel te skryf—perfek vir lesers wat hou van hartroerende liefdesverhale.
Wanneer sy nie besig is om stories vol emosie en dalk ‘n tikkie humor te skryf nie, geniet Francine dit om te reis, haar passie vir rugby uit te leef en met ’n glas goeie wyn te ontspan. Sy het een keer probeer rugby speel, maar gou besef dat om te kyk—en stories skryf—veel meer haar styl is. Of dit nou ’n boeiende sportromanse of ’n feestelike vakansieroman is, Francine bring altyd haar kenmerkende warmte en skerp sin vir humor na elke boek.
Francine is die Vise-Voorsitter en Pretoria Groepleier van die Romance Writers Organization of South Africa en behoort aan Skrywersnetwerk.
