The Journey Behind the Pages


L.S. Franco talks about her journey as an author

Hi everyone,

Writing has always been my way of understanding the world—or perhaps escaping it, just a little. When I was younger, I’d get lost in the pages of books, imagining myself in faraway lands, wielding magic, or standing bravely where the heroes stood. Back then, I never imagined I’d someday be creating those worlds myself. Yet, here I am, pouring my heart into stories that I hope will inspire, thrill, and maybe even challenge you.

When I started The Conjurer’s Prophecy trilogy, the idea felt like a flicker—a small spark of a story. I didn’t know it would grow into this sprawling adventure filled with danger, hope, and complex characters who feel so real to me now. But as the pages piled up, so did my conviction: this was a story worth telling. Not because it was perfect, but because it was raw, honest, and a little messy—kind of like life itself.

I think that’s the beauty of storytelling. It doesn’t have to be flawless. It just has to mean something. For me, these books are about more than magic and battles (though there’s plenty of that!). They’re about faith in dark moments, redemption when all seems lost, and the strength we discover in ourselves when we least expect it.

As The Temporal Scythe approaches its release, I find myself reflecting on what this series has taught me. Writing these books has been a journey of its own—a test of patience, perseverance, and trust. Trust in the process, trust in my vision, and most of all, trust in you, the readers who have made this adventure possible.

So, thank you for opening these pages, for believing in my characters, and for making this world come alive. Every time you share a favorite quote, discuss a plot twist, or imagine yourself stepping into the Downtown-Verse, you bring this story to life in ways I never could on my own.

I hope The Temporal Scythe surprises you, moves you, and leaves you with something to carry into your own story. Because that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it? The connection we share through these worlds we build together.

Yours,


L.S. Franco

  On Stories, Imagination, and the Worlds We Build Hello, dear readers, Have you ever stopped to think about how a single story can ripple outward, creating connections far beyond what we imagined when we first put pen to paper? Writing, for me, is not just a craft—it’s a doorway to countless possibilities. Every word, every chapter, every character is a thread in a tapestry (oops—scratch that word,  no tapestries here!  😉). When I began writing  The Conjurer’s Prophecy  trilogy, I had no idea how much it would shape not only my imagination but also the way I look at the world. Each book has been a challenge—a battle, even. There were times I doubted myself, times I wanted to set the manuscript aside and “just think about it tomorrow.” But the love for storytelling, and for the chance to connect with readers like you, kept me going. Through  The Pandora’s Box  and  The Oberon Stone , and now as I prepare to share  The Temporal Scythe  w...

Why I Write Fantasy Worlds – A Journey from Children’s Books to RPGs and Beyond From my earliest days, storytelling felt like a natural part of me. I started with children’s books—not just reading them but creating them. I’d write the stories I wanted to read, ones with worlds and characters that felt as magical as anything I could imagine. I’d even illustrate them, bringing my ideas to life on every page. There was something powerful about the feeling of finishing a story and holding it in my hands, even if it was just for me. As I got a bit older, poetry became my passion. I poured my thoughts into lines and rhymes, sometimes daydreaming in class and writing poems in the margins of my notebooks. I wanted to share my work, to see it resonate with others the way it did for me. But I was too young to join the local poetry competitions; they had age restrictions that kept me from the stage. Still, I’d go to the events, watch others recite their poems, and feel the thrill of being part of...
