I grew up in Northern Virginia before moving to Scotland for college, where I graduated from the University of St Andrews with a degree in Classical Studies and Comparative Literature. Back in the States, I currently live in beautiful Colorado with my Chihuahua mix (and ghostwriter), Arlo. A lifelong reader and fan of history’s complicated women, I enjoy weaving historical inspiration into my fantasy worlds. When I'm not writing, you can find me hiking, baking, or watching The Real Housewives.
