Welcome to my official website!

Whether I’m recreating the story of a legendary woman from history or the fictional drama of a Tudor spy, for me writing historical fiction is an exciting journey into the unknown. There is always a secret to uncover behind the portrait, a mystery to explore within the legend, a hidden motivation under the fact. I write historical fiction for the same reason that I read it: because I crave the emotion of the past.

I hope you enjoy reading my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Thank you for visiting me!
