4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars 1 rating

Behind the glitter of fame and fortune is a past that threatens to expose Rayna’s darkest secrets.

In the 1950s, a young West Indian girl arrives in London, eager to start a new life and quickly finds herself entangled with two powerful men. It is when she reveals her talent as a singer that the balance of power shifts and her fresh start can begin. Her success grows but so does the weight of her past.

Haunted by the promises she broke and the consequences of a day she will never forget, Rayna must make a difficult decision: continue hiding the truth or risk losing everything she has gained.

Will her life as a young girl destroy the world of the woman she has become, or will those she loves find it in their hearts to forgive her?

For fans of historical fiction with a touch of drama and mystery, When Skies Are Grey is a captivating tale of a woman’s struggle to make a new beginning.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I've loved to write and make up stories since I was a child. Characters and plots come to me regularly. Some stories don’t make it past the imagining phase but every now and again an idea won't leave me alone, and the first draft of a new novel begins.

I decided to take some creative writing courses as an adult which eventually led to a Creative Writing MA at Brunel University. Ever since then I have been honing my writing skills ghost writing, copy writing and creating blog content for companies.

I was thrilled to have my debut novel, Holding Paradise, published by Indigo Dreams in 2014. The book and its characters sparked a series of short stories and a novella which, not published in their own right, led to the creation of the Island Secrets Series. I reinvented Holding Paradise and it became book 1 of the series, published in 2024. The year before that I published a stand alone book called Lovers.

​​I'm currently working on a new book series and hope to publish the first of them in 2025.

​I moved from London to the English countryside with my musician husband where I teach vocals and lead a local choir. 

​I also write under the pseudonym, Rosa Temple, writing contemporary fiction and published by HQ Digital and Simon & Schuster UK.

    Book 4 of 4 of Fran Clark’s Island Secrets series, When Skies Are Grey, wraps up a series of books that are so immersive and vivid and makes the reader feel like they have literally traveled back in time. From smokey pubs to music in which you can hear every note, Fran Clark has blown me away with a historical fiction novel that is set in London in the 1950’s Rayna has come from the West Indians to London trying to restart her life. However, the plans she originally thought would work did not. She ends up finding her way to a pub that plays music that reminds her of home. Keep in mind what was happening in London in that era. Life could not have been easy for Rayna and she is hiding secrets. As the story unfolds we learn what and why and her past doesn’t seem to want to let go. A highly recommended immersive read.
