Frances
Giles
Frances Giles was born in Beaumont and spent what she naively thought
was a relatively normal childhood before departing for nursing school
at age 19. She had a four decade career as an RN, moved to Austin
a couple of years after graduation and has had scads of interesting,
fulfilling, quirky and downright bizarre life experiences that she
wouldn't trade for anything. She came late to writing after a fortuitous
e-mail contact with Barclay Gibson who put her in contact with Texas
Escapes, jump starting a rich and rewarding phase in her sunset years.
She is grateful to them for putting up with her efforts at stringing
words together in a more or less coherent form, thereby unleashing
her on an unsuspecting reading public. She tends to write in a humorous
vein (often funny only to her) and has never met a pun she didn't
like. |
