I am a historical fiction author drawn to the forgotten voices and hidden corners of the past and currently exploring Tudor naval history and the age of Sir Francis Drake. Here you’ll find my historical research, posts about characters and Elizabethan culture, and my historical fiction books and short stories—beginning with Sic Parvis Magna, the first in my Adventures of Francis Drake series. Join me as we get lost in history.

Step aboard the blood-soaked decks of an Elizabethan ship where Francis Drake's exploits shaped the birth of the English naval empire. Stroll through the seedier parts of the London waterfront. Experience the personal devastation wrought by Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries.
