The Brain Behind Thread Reset
L.S. Franco is a Best-Selling Author, Literary Award Winner, and proud member of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA). She is also a Friends of Worldcon member, supporting the global sci-fi and fantasy community through its most iconic convention.
As a Chief of Strategy, Franco brings sharp structural thinking and visionary planning to her storytelling—crafting intricate plots, complex systems of magic and governance, and expansive multiverse timelines that unfold with purpose and precision.
Franco is known for crafting cinematic, character-driven fantasy set in richly layered multiverses, where magic isn’t just power—it’s system, consequence, and philosophy. Her storytelling blends fast-paced, emotionally raw scenes with a strategic, world-spanning structure that challenges the mind and stirs the soul. Often described as systemic fantasy, her work tackles spiritual warfare, societal collapse, and moral reckoning, all while anchoring the reader in deeply human (and often heartbreaking) character arcs. Her signature style weaves together visual spectacle, intellectual depth, and emotional weight—creating stories that don’t just entertain, but transform.
Born in Niterói, Brazil, she was raised on classic tales, world folklore, and mythology. Her decades as a tabletop RPG game master refined her instinct for improvisation, immersive worldbuilding, and multi-perspective narratives. Her love for psychotherapy and constant study of human behavior breathe emotional depth and psychological realism into her characters.
She is better known for her award-winning YA Sci-fi / fantasy series: Conjurer’s Prophecy. She is also the author of diverse children’s books, among them the collection Lumi Hops, which focuses on neurodivergence awareness and representation.
Based in the United States, Franco writes with a purpose: to craft stories that linger. Written for her son but meant for all readers, she believes imagination isn’t an escape—it’s a compass. One that can light the way through even the darkest paths.
