Having spent decades devouring romance novels, South African-born romance writer Francine Beaton picked up the pen for the first time in 2016. She published her debut novel, Eye on the Ball, and the first book in the Taste for Love series in 2018. Francine loves travelling and is an avid photographer, forever snapping pictures of her food and drink – much to her husband’s frustration. She is an enthusiastic rugby supporter who (once) even played the game but now prefers commentating from the sideline or in front of the television while enjoying a glass of her favourite wine.
Vir jare het die Suid-Afrikaans-gebore romanskrywer, Francine Beaton, liefdesverhale verslind voordat sy self die pen opgeneem het. Sy het haar debuut roman in Engels, Eye on the Ball, asook die eerste in die Taste for Love-reeks in 2018 gepubliseer. Francine is mal oor reis en is ook ‘n kranige fotograaf. Tot haar man se frustrasie neem sy foto’s van alles wat sy eet en drink. Sy is ‘n vurige rugby ondersteuner wat selfs (een keer) die spel probeer het. Deesdae verkies sy egter om raad en kommentaar te lewer vanaf die kantlyn of voor die televisie terwyl sy ‘n glasie van haar gunsteling wyn geniet.
