I write historical thrillers that feature fierce and dangerous women. I write about the thieves and servants, murderesses and mediums, grifters and frauds - the women with darker stories and tangled motives.

 

Novels include the historical thrillers THE DECEPTION (September 2022), the bestselling Silver Falchion Award winner AFTER ALICE FELL, and THE COMPANION, lauded​ by Publishers Weekly as "a captivating tale of psychological suspense." I am also the author of the young adult historicals BOWERY GIRL and WILLA award winner CISSY FUNK. Look for my latest historical, THE GOOD TIME GIRLS in Spring 2023.

 

I have taught creative writing workshops since 2010. Workshops are experiential, with writing exercises and feedback focused on skills to strengthen prose and story. I love writing and I love to teach. Enough said.
