Frances Cowie is the author of eight novels in which she mixers women’s fiction and contemporary romance.

And while happy ever after is the only way to go, she likes a certain arrogance from her heroes, a touch of angst from her heroines, and a dash of spice – just to keep things interesting.

Frances lives with her husband in New Zealand’s Southern Lakes district, and is known to have a passion for cupcakes and Whittaker’s coconut chocolate.
