Donna Francart

Donna Francart

Biography:

For nearly nine years, Francart was a deputy coroner who worked medicolegal death investigations, which are those involving suspicious, violent, unexplained or unexpected deaths. Lacking access to structured debriefings, Francart turned to journaling as a way of privately unpacking the profound grief she faced and preserving her own mental well-being. As she did, she found herself in a conundrum of perplexing relationships with both the living and the dead.

In her first and previous book, I've Seen Dead People, (Jongleur Books) she shares her unfiltered thoughts and emotions as she navigates a world most of us cannot imagine — a world Francart was drawn to out of a genuine desire to help others during their darkest hours.

In Ed Gein, The Musical - A Novel, Francart presents a fun and interesting homage to the cult classic film, "Ed Gein, the Musical." It offers a unique perspective of the movie and also acts as a unique and fresh bio about America's most deranged killer, Ed Gein.
