Hero stories have been with us forever, even before women invented written language—Odysseus’ voyage or Anansi the bringer of stories and wisdom to humankind.
As a child I wondered, “Where are the girls?”
The sad truth was there were none.
When I began writing, and pondered what stories I wanted to tell I remembered how lost I felt as a girl when I saw no reflection of myself on the pages of a book.
So, here I am filling that void with my own daring women’s adventure stories.
My tales are placed in Great Britain from mid 1700's - 1820. This is a period of great changes: Napoleonic Wars, the Industrial Revolution, the beginnings of the middle class, and the newly freed Colonies are establishing themselves on the world stage.
