Thank you for visiting my website! My goal as a historical novelist is to provide you, the reader, with high-quality fiction about women and the forgotten and undervalued roles they played in their societies. Whether it’s the real-life physicist Emilie du Chatelet, the literary heroine Penelope, or women who have sprung entirely from my imagination, I offer you stories true to the facts of a time and place.

It’s not that I’ve been dysfunctional (far from it), but more like a river that changes course after an earthquake. It’s been a new life, and an exciting one. […] (Read More...)
