Juliette Simon is married, more or less unhappily, and is the most popular folk/pop singer in the German speaking world. She is Marie and Arabella Cooper-Nyman’s new neighbour, and lives in her purpose-built villa on Lake Starnberg in Bavaria. She meets and falls in love with one of her backing singers, Jodie Sanchez. Their story is one full of trials and tribulations. Juliette must confront the homophobia rampant in the folk music world. Jodie must decide: her solo career in the USA, or Juliette?
Fran Annaford works in the entertainment industry. Enforced idleness during the corona pandemic led to increased activity on the laptop, and the eight volume ‘Starnberg Set’ series was conceived and written. If Time Were Not a Moving Thing is the first part, and You Don’t Own Me, the second. The third volume in the series is entitled Give Me Time. Fran travels extensively in the course of her work. Home is wherever her partner and animals happen to be.
