Vernon Frances was born and raised in a small rural town in Kentucky, where life moved at a slower pace, but dreams ran deep. From a young age, Vernon embraced the simple joys of life—whether it was playing sports with friends, coaching youth teams, or getting lost in a great book or movie. Little did he know, those early passions would one day lead him to the world of storytelling.
An avid athlete who played basketball, baseball, and football, Vernon’s love for sports shaped his sense of discipline and teamwork. However, it was his love for adventure and romance stories that sparked the fire to write. From novels that swept him away to movies that left a lasting impression, Vernon was drawn to stories that made him feel something real—stories that took him on an emotional journey, typically with a happy ending. It was these very stories that inspired him to craft his own.
As a coach, Vernon mentored and inspired countless young athletes, teaching them that success comes from dedication, hard work, and passion. But beneath the surface of his coaching career, Vernon carried a deep-seated love for storytelling—a love that had been nurtured over years of reading, watching movies, and imagining his own tales.
Eventually, that passion for storytelling found its outlet in writing. Inspired by the heartwarming stories he adored and the belief in love’s power, Vernon set out to write The Soulmate—his debut novel. It was a story that had been brewing in his mind for years, a story of love lost and rediscovered, of fate and second chances. Vernon poured his heart into creating characters that felt real, raw, and relatable. Tommy and Emma’s journey became not just a work of fiction, but a personal testament to the enduring nature of love and destiny.
When Vernon isn’t writing, you’ll find him relishing the quiet pleasures of life in Kentucky—whether it’s enjoying the outdoors, spending time with his family, or revisiting his favorite sports teams. His love for coaching and mentoring has never waned, and he continues to inspire others with the same passion and dedication he brings to his writing.
Vernon is also committed to giving back to his community. As a first-time author, he believes that stories should do more than entertain—they should inspire action. That’s why he donates 10% of the profits from The Soulmate to a nonprofit organization that helps kids and the elderly in their times of need. Vernon believes in the power of community and strives to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
