About me...
Photo by Lisa Nield
I write historical mysteries. My first series, the award-winning Lucy Campion Mysteries, is set in 17th century London. My second series, the Speakeasy Mysteries, is set in a Prohibition-Era Chicago speakeasy.
I hold a PhD in history and currently work at Northwestern University. Born and raised in Philadelphia, I live in the Chicago area with my husband and two sons. |
In the News...
My first short story, "The Trial of Madame Pelletier," has been nominated for a 2018 Anthony for Best Short Story!
