I grew up in Edinburgh and have lived in various parts of England, Canada and now Pennsylvania. I’m the author of several historical novels, including THE SCANDALOUS LIFE OF NANCY RANDOLPH (Lume/Joffe Books, 2024), and THE PEOPLE NEXT DOOR, a contemporary thriller about sisters (Lume/Joffe Books, 2025)
Outside of fiction, I write a substack all about sisters in history and fiction:
I’m also a U.S. editor and feature writer for the Historical Novels Review, and a reviewer for BlueInk.
