She writes: "Although FADE FAR AWAY is a fictional story, I know how it feels to lose a father and to feel on the outside, powerless to help. My father, an architect, died when I was fifteen. I often wished he'd had a chance to spend time alone with him during his illness. Instead, I've given my main character, Sienna, that chance."Francess Lantz lives with her husband and young son in Santa Barbara, California.Lantz, Francess L. is the author of 'Weather or Not', published 2003 under ISBN 9780060548377 and ISBN 0060548371.
