Inspired by family stories, archives, and ancestral homes from Lydiard Park to the Tower of London, my days are spent exploring portraits, diaries, graveyards, and lost gardens. Occasionally I discover secrets and solve mysteries. Or encounter a ghost or two.

Explore my Books: History’s Hidden Women

The courtier who stole the jewels. The bookseller who discovered them. And a centuries-old secret of love lost and found.

Falling in love should set you free…not send you to the Tower of London.

Amid the chaos of war, she challenges her family’s divided loyalties and love to survive.

The spymistress, the courtier, the rebel. Three women navigate love, ambition, and sacrifice.

If you knew the fate of the Princes in the Tower would you tell? Or forever keep the secret?

One woman’s quest for a truth that could change a nation: the discovery of the Missing Princes.
