Oliver Frances writes romance and mystery, because of his professional background as economist some of his works focus on social and economic issues. He has traveled to many countries and, from those journeys, has learnt about economic and political systems. Frances' short stories have been praised by fervent readers around the world, and some were published in Istanbul Literary Review. After reading one of Oliver's books, Heart, R Jeffreys writes "Great, is a word I use to describe what I've read only on rare occasions; but your work is very, well crafted, fluid and emotionally evocative."
