A recovering academic, Diana Pharaoh Francis writes books of a fantastical, adventurous, and often romantic nature. She’s owned by a corgi, a half corgi half australian shepherd, and a blue heeler, and spends much of her time herding family, likes rocks, geocaching, knotting up yarn, airbrushing, and has a thing for 1800s England, especially the Victorians. And she’s a horse freak.
