Her poetry is a wry, awry, word-playful gallop through the vagaries of life encountering mail-stealing snails, lollipop ladies, Glam Rock, insomnia and macabre part-time jobs en route. She has also written sketches, scripts, lyrics, content for websites and newsletters, radio features, speeches and short stories. Occasionally Fran works in character as Dorothea Blazer, Chair of the Trouserford Ladies Literary Luncheon League, or as Doctor Lucy Swann, an academic specializing in obscure female poets.
