Thank you for visiting my website! My goal as a historical novelist is to provide you, the reader, with high-quality fiction about women and the forgotten and undervalued roles they played in their societies. Whether it’s the real-life physicist Emilie du Chatelet, the literary heroine Penelope, or women who have sprung entirely from my imagination, I offer you stories true to the facts of a time and place.

Please check back from time to time for updates on my new projects, and drop me a line at lacauthor@gmail.com to let me know you're out there reading!

I’m Back!
11 February 2013 - Well, here I am, back after an absence of many months. For those of you who know me only through this website, the last you heard from me was when I was reeling from the death of my beloved partner and husband, Jim, last April. I dropped out of sight over that summer and haven’t [...] (Read More...)
