Nancy O. Franson
Mansfield, CT

I was born and raised in western Pennsylvania and, though I’ve lived in New England all my adult life, remain a devoted Pittsburgh Steeler fan. I’m a recovering home school mom who is wildly in love with her husband, having taken up writing as empty nest years loomed large on the horizon.

I love talking to people and listening to their stories. Here, I combine storytelling with humor as a means of processing life and faith, attempting to bear witness to God’s faithfulness while doing battle with the craziness of life.
