Early life
Francis grew up on a cattle ranch in Northern California, near Lincoln. She attended Oakmont High School in Roseville, California.
Education
Francis has a BA from University of California, Davis and an MA from Iowa State University, both in creative writing, and a PhD from Ball State University in literature and literary theory. Her thesis focused on pre-Civil War-era women novelists (1858–65) and their portrayal of women. She then linked that to British post-colonial theory of controlling native populations in their colonies.
Writing
Francis' first book, Path of Fate, was favorably reviewed by Victoria Strauss. According to WorldCat, this is her most widely held book; it is held in 247 libraries.
