The Tabitha & Wolf Mystery Series and its spin-offs, The Isabella Hartwell Society Mysteries and The Continental Capers of Melody Chesterton, are the kind of books I like to read on a lazy Sunday: historical mysteries featuring strong, intelligent, independent female characters. I've always enjoyed historical novels that highlight heroines attempting to remedy some of the injustices of the time. Whether it's inequality for women, poor labour laws, or widespread poverty, my characters have to face the grim realities of their times head-on. But my books are also fun, filled with adorable orphans, exasperating dowagers, and charming, if somewhat roguish, heroes. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I've enjoyed writing them.
