Fran Rybarik became a writer in 2004, following careers as a nurse educator and a mom. She has been published in regional magazines, anthologies, e-zines, newsletters and health education materials. Fran never thought she would write a book, but when she began sharing the stories created by David's ashes, people said, "You should write a book. It would help others who are grieving, too." She spends her free time traveling, hiking, kayaking and being with family and friends. Travels with David is her first book. You can reach her at franny363@gmail.com
