I am a prize-winning poet who writes for kids, YAs and adults.

In 2009, Hadley Rille Books published my archaeologically-accurate historical novella set in Delphi and Athens, The Priestess and the Slave. Jack Dann wrote, "It's such a joy to read a historical novel written by an author who has such authority over her material." Alison Goodman said, "A compelling blend of vivid storytelling and meticulous research. Fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable." Greg Benford called it "wonderful", and said, "It has the arc of a novel, brevity of a short story - quite a job of compaction." And Kate Forsyth, wrote, "Completely fascinating - a vivid and evocative glimpse into the life of the past, with its terrors and joys so strange and yet so familiar."

My current project is a novel based on the improbably dramatic life of Bronze Age princess Medea, grand-daughter of the Sun.
