I’m the author of The Wicked Unseen, We Are The Beasts, And The Trees Stare Back, The Lioness, and The Empress (as seen on Netflix), among other things. I’m a sucker for little-known histories, unlikable female characters, and all things Europe.


After almost ten years of semi-nomadic life, I’m based in moody Porto, Portugal, with my pint-sized pooch Luna. Before Portugal nestled its way into our hearts, she and I were digital nomads, living our lives against a backdrop of cobbled Italian squares, colorful French bistros, and jagged, breathtaking Swiss Alps. Now, we are nestling into community, tracing a new life in a new shape.
