| Introduction | Currently writing A Thief & A Gentlewoman - historical fantasy with lashings of 18th Century style and an Ottoman feel. In Arianople, City of Cities, being born on the wrong street is bad enough, but being born in the slums, the Gutter Streets, is even worse. Quintefoil Morehap knows more about that district than any young lady of fashion should, but she has found a way to escape her birth: she just needs to maintain her masquerade. |
