“Frances is a superb writer. Her scripts are full of snappy dialog and vivid, emotional characterization. When I worked alongside her on Astoria: Lost Kisses, I was delighted by her ability to bring our heroine’s relationship with her best friend, May, to life. Frances crafted an easy back-and-forth between the pair, showcasing both the warmth and gentle teasing that exists between great friends. It felt as natural as any conversation between gal pals in a real life office setting.
In addition to being a terrific writer, Frances is a wonderful teammate. Making games can be an intense process, but Frances is quick to lighten the mood with a good-natured joke or kind words of encouragement. Working with her has been an absolute pleasure.”
