title: Franny's Fifteen Minutes of Fame
author: Townsend, Carol
description: Carol resides in Las Vegas with her husband of thirty-six years. They enjoy traveling extensively, where Carol reads avidly and picks up background information for her characters and story lines. Carol comes from a family with a deep history in Montana and loves teaching and story telling, thus the easy transition to writing those stories down in book form. When she was traveling as a career specialist and telling stories to get a particular point across, Carol’s students and employers would often tell her she should “write a book!” She told them that when her life became less hectic she would certainly make that one of her goals. Suddenly in the past three years, the characters in her head started telling her it was time to make that goal a reality. Franny’s Fifteen Minutes of Fame is Carol’s fourth book this year that she has submitted for publication that has been accepted.
