About

My Story

S.V. Farnsworth is a linguist librarian who has spent time in Asia. Issues with grit give her multicultural novels the traction to move you.
She is writing book two in the Modutan Empire Series, Monarch in the Flames. It’s an epic fantasy with an appeal to readers who connect with #MeToo concerns and admire strong female characters.
She graduated with a B.S. from SUU in 2002. She completed advanced writing courses at MSSU and frequently takes classes and attends workshops on writing.
She belongs to the Ozarks Writers League. She is serving a second year as president of the board for the Joplin Writers’ Guild, successfully coordinated the July 2019 conference, and is editing the guild’s 2019 anthology.

“Four Stars. Although I have never been a fantasy reader, I really enjoyed the story of ‘Woman of the Stone’. I had a bit of trouble keeping track of the many political factions and their intrigues, but maybe that’s due to my not being practiced in reading this genre. I am a reader and author of romance novels and this story had enough of that to keep me involved and wondering what would happen next. In fact, at the end of this–the first in the series–I know which direction I’d like to see that aspect of Emerald’s future take (wink). The pacing of the story was excellent and the characters interesting. I appreciated the good strong characters in particular. I also enjoyed the descriptive prose and could see the lanscape and terrain–as well as the physical actions of the characters–clearly in my mind’s eye. These are all elements that make up a good book for me. Well done, S.V. Farnsworth! It will be interesting to see where the next one takes us.”
