Current work in progress
T.W. Francko writes middle grade and young adult fiction rooted in mystery, history, nature, and change. His stories ask what people inherit, what they choose to preserve, and what happens when the world they understand begins to shift.
His work as an educator shapes the same creative instinct: invite curiosity, reward close attention, and make room for discovery.
