Introduction I'm a freelancer and a historical novelist. The Witch's Trinity is about medieval witchcraft and was a San Francisco Chronicle Notable Book and Stoker finalist. The Murderer's Maid: a Lizzie Borden Novel tells the American legend from the point of view of the Irish maid Bridget Sullivan, while Woman of Ill Fame is about a Gold Rush prostitute caught up in a serial killer plot. I'm fascinated by a lot of stuff and (used to) blog (more frequently) about it: history, road trips, suffrage, museums, the Gold Rush, witchcraft, murder, Victorians, cursed Egyptian tombs. My freelance work has appeared in Smithsonian, Washington Post, Rolling Stone, Fodor's, Chicago Tribune, Lit Hub, and more.
