You’ll also meet many other characters whom Elaine controls and often abuses including the esteemed Archbishop Andre Figurant, who longs for her and his fallen identical twin, Bastien, who fears Elaine’s powers. Newly arrived and beautiful Ophelia, her half-sister, and Elaine’s nephew Rudy who have come to explore their Chauvier roots and ties to Shadow’s Way. They bring bad news regarding Elaine’s ownership of Shadow’s Way which she dreads to hear.

About Barbara Frances:

Barbara Frances has plenty of stories and a lifetime spent acquiring them. She grew up on a small Texas farm wanting to be a nun. At fifteen she enrolled as an aspirant in a convent boarding school but eventually changed her mind and went to college, earning a degree in English and Theatre Arts. Instead of teaching school, though, she became a stewardess for American Airlines.

One summer vacation she and a friend wrote a screenplay and the next summer wrote one on her own. Others followed, as did awards and options. Barbara changed course and started writing novels. Her first was Lottie’s Adventure, a children’s book. Like I Used to Dance is a powerful family saga based on memories and front-porch tales from her childhood. Her next is a “Southern Gothic” about a struggling family, a plot of land and a scheming archbishop. The convent sisters might be appalled but her readers can’t wait!
