Fran Yoakum Veal dreamed of being a writer from the time she read Little Women in the third grade.  She began toying with the idea of writing Young Adult fiction a couple of years ago, but it was just talk until she had lunch with an old high school acquaintance.  She mentioned her desire to this friend, who then proceeded to hound her until she sat down and wrote her the Kindle Bestseller, FINDING MY ESCAPE.
