What kind of stories does F.C. write?

I love to take one element of fantasy or science fiction, place it in an otherwise realistic world, and see what happens. Elements like:

F.C. writes poetry, too?

I believe poetry is for everyone, and that everyone likes poetry, they just have to find poems they like. My debut poetry collection was released in November 2020 with the dual goal of writing poetry that is accessible for people who don’t normally read poems, and that is also diligent and honest, for people who enjoy poems regularly.

Does F.C. really send free copies of his books to libraries?

Yes! My books tend to fall into the middle grade genre, so I especially love sending his books to middle school libraries. If you’re a librarian and you’d like a free copy of my books, just fill out the form below.

Where can I find F.C.’s books?

All of my books are available in paperback and digital on Amazon. If you are in the Joplin, MO area, you can also pick up copies at Vintage Stock.

Which book should I start with?

If you want a classic coming of age story about dragons and vikings and fathers and sons and honor, start with The Rose Weapon. If you prefer a slow burn mystery set in in the 50s, check out The Mystery at Pancake Shores.

I want to write stories, but I don’t know where to start. Any advice?

Write stories you love. The fastest way to learn how to write stories is to do it consistently. Start with short stories. Write 50 short stories before being critical of them. Also, I started a blog for new fiction writers covering topics related to story ideas, structure, characters, resources, inspiration, and general tips (which was later serialized in book form).

When is F.C.’s next book signing/school or library visit?
