The product of a strict Roman Catholic upbringing, she claims the characters who populate her books often give her a bit of a fright. That's because Franciska is a conformist and hates confrontation. In fact, her friends and family claim she's a Miss Goody-two-shoes and she doesn't mind that portrayal one bit as it rings true. Her characters on the other hand love to challenge the status quo and are not averse to pushing the boundaries, sexual or ethical. They are dimensional and flawed and that's what makes them human, memorable, Franciska alleges.When she isn't reading or writing poetry and fiction (the iambic pace of her prose oftentimes resounds like a drumbeat), Franciska is probably walking the picturesque Frankton Arm in Queenstown meditating on her writing and the snow-capped Remarkables that tower over Lake Wakatipu, container gardening, or watching edgy black comedy on Netflix.view less
