I write historical fiction, crime and fantasy for readers of all ages.

I also teach creative writing and run writing retreats.

My new book, co-written with Sharmini Kumar, is Miss Caroline Bingley: Private Detective, published worldwide by HarperCollins in 2025.

You can find out more about me and my many books for readers of all ages, or read some of my travel writing and feature articles. 

If you’re interested in Goddess, my novel based on the life of the remarkable French opera star and swordswoman, Julie d’Aubigny, you can read about the book, the real woman’s life, and all my research here.
