Indie Author of the Week!Carol FranksAs a teacher, Carol June Franks wanted to write in a way to engage her students in reading and to model what it means to be a writer. Participating in Louisville Writing Project’s Summer Institute, Carol learned how to write alongside her students, interacting with them throughout the process. That’s how the ideas for Potato’s, Pawpaw and Me, Silent Tree Remembers, and Sled Ride Down Untrue Street began- as poems shared with her students as models. Now Retired, Carol’s goals are to publish children’s books that are not only enjoyable for all ages to read but can also be used by parents and teachers to enhance children’s reading and writing abilities. Carol is a firm believer that picture books are a perfect venue for learning to read and write well. |

The saga launches with The Emerald Scepter of Light (Part 1), a gripping tale centered on a centuries-old book of dark magic called the Simvac. Created by an ancient druid order, this artifact has sparked violent bloodshed and world-altering conflicts throughout history, setting the stage for an epic journey filled with wonder, danger, and profound discovery.

She’s an avid traveler and seeker of soulful experiences, guided by a spirituality that celebrates beauty, intention and connection.
