About

I’m Roberta Franklin, I was born in Germany in 1973, studied History and English Literature in Munich, lived in Greece for almost 20 years, and now live in beautiful Wales.  I’ve worked in various fields – as a journalist, as Social Hostess on a cruise ship, as an insurance agent, as a foreign language tutor – and now I’m a freelance translator and indexer.

My true passion has always been writing, though, and in 2016 my first adventure-romance novel was published: The Professor and the Bird, about a most unusual and rather unlikely couple, a mature Greek Professor of Archaeology and a young Irish girl who takes part in motorbike races – and they’ve got to defend a very rare archaeological find from a gang of greedy artefact thieves!

In 2018, a new adventure of Nikos and Sally was published: Treasures of the deep Blue Sea. This time, they get involved in a Cretan vendetta!

Meanwhile, I’ve found the man of my dreams in real life as well: In October 2018, I married Ian – and life has been true bliss ever since…
