Tell us more about your book! What inspired you to write it?
Franklin: After writing my debut novel. Six Years Black was my second favorite choice. I like telling stories that dive into the darker, sensitive, or heavier aspects of books. I'm always compelled to write rare characters so making my character blind was challenging but rewarding.
If you could relate to any character in your book, who would it be and why?
Franklin: This is a short story, so I do not have too many characters. However, Syble, love her dark sense of humor.

Franklin: I'm not an avid reader but fantasy my go to. I'm read one book in the Game of Throne series and now currently reading The Name of the Wind. My second would be adventure books.
Besides reading and writing, what else do you enjoy doing during your free time? Do you have any other businesses?
Franklin: I also write music. I'm also looking into film studies, I would love to film my own stories or any other great books that did not receive the proper attention. If you know the PC game League of Legends add me let’s play!
If you could pick any song to describe your main character, what would it be?
