Frances White is the award winning and internationally bestselling author of Voyage of the Damned, a magical queer murder mystery at sea.

She has a soft spot for writing unlikely, flawed, messy heroes and loves mixing humour and heartbreak.

Frances is passionate about bringing more LGBTQIA+ representation and fat positivity into fantasy.

When not writing, she can be found sewing costumes for conventions or researching obscure historical facts.

She has two cats, Apollo and Hermes, who she dutifully serves.

Quotes by Frances White  (?)

“Back home we speak what’s in our hearts,’ she says—which is lovely. And then: ‘Because any day a tree can fall and crush your skull.’ Which is less so.”
Frances White, Voyage of the Damned

“A twitch of a smile. ‘And that’s why you’re wrong. The hero isn’t the dragon. The hero is the fish.’ My arms drop. ‘The fish?’ ‘The fish did not have to share the burden. The fish could have survived without it. But it sacrificed itself because it saw the suffering of others. The world would have been doomed without the fish.’ She holds my gaze, her expression utterly serious. And in that moment, I am, for once, speechless.”
Frances White, Voyage of the Damned

“I’ll stay here, inside my sugar igloo, until death claims me.”
Frances White, Voyage of the Damned
