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...
I'm thrilled to announce that my second short story, "A Postcard for the Dead" (in the 2018 Bouchercon Anthology) was nominated for an Agatha Award!
