It began with a fascination I’ve had, since time immemorial, with the subject of reincarnation. Somehow, as a child, I knew about things which I shouldn’t have; things about which I‘d never heard a word spoken. As I got older I began pondering the imponderable until it finally boiled over, and in a fit of passion, wildly started writing. All I knew, at 'Francey’s' inception, was that it would be a story which would combine a child’s innocence with the notion that this was not the first time she’d passed this way. And while writing it, I felt a closeness with the characters from Francey’s past such as I’ve rarely experienced with anyone before, real or imagined. And as I sat under the oak tree with Lady Susan Sebastian and her star-crossed lover, Edward Delaney, I simply wrote down their story as it was related it to me.
In other words, the driving force behind ‘Francey’ came from the characters in her past. Finally, and after three and a half centuries, having decided to give me permission to tell the tale. (Or so I’d like to believe.)
