Margaret Franceschini
Margaret's desire to write began at a young age, writing stories from her imagination. In between raising a family, Margaret Franceschini also devoted time in writing poems which were published in various local books and on poetry sites. She managed to continue her education at the local college, then began working with children with Autism.One summer while vacationing with her family and watching children running through the sand, she remembered her summer vacations as a child with her family and a little boy who would look for her each weekend. This simple act of playing in the sand, digging with seashells and the memory of him running with her to the shore and back to the sand gave her the idea and title of her novel, Seashells.
