About

All Fran Henke (aka Frances Kelly, George Davis) wanted to do when she grew up was write books. 

  She began with poetry, then moved into 

journalism. In order to make city garden, she found herself writing about gardening, which led to garden books & columns.        After 50 years of poetry, newspapers, & gardening books, time came to write fiction and become a publisher. This includes putting out newsletters for Polio Network Victoria and MPPPSG that go to polio survivors around the world.

The wind trilogy

  Life in Geelong, Victoria in the 1850s was rich, with tens of thousands of people arriving at Port Henry to try their luck on the goldfields at Ballarat. Fran's first novel on this theme The Other Side of the Wind, was published in 2013.

   The sequel Winds of Rebellion was launched on May 15, 2016 and the sequel of the sequel An Imperfect Calendar has been launched and copies are available now. For more details go to Writings page.

Polio survivors tend to over achieve in order prove 'normality'. in 1989 having overcome the initial effects, Fran learned eventually she had Post Polio Syndrome.    Little was known about it so she set set out to use her communication skills to help others understand what was happening. There is a real thirst for knowledge about post-polio, so information is shared through social media, books and magazines.
