When Jane Austen and a Vampyre Walked Onto a Moor... (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week, I published my novel The Heiress of Northanger Abbey. It is a sequel to Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey. This book is also a historical novel, Gothic mystery, Regency adventure, and psychological drama.It is not a supernatural story.Well, except for the possibility–just the possibility–of a vampire. 🙂My novel’s action takes place during four months in 1820. As with all my historical novels, I draw on real events to create the plot’
Did This Castle Inspire Northanger Abbey? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jane Austen is revered for the characters she created, for her wit, and for how she fuses an acerbic, unblinking view of human nature with deep stores of empathy. I believe that, among her arsenal of gifts, also lies a talent for writing “place.” Austen mixed descriptions of her most iconic creations—Pemberley, Mansfield Park, Kellynch Hall—with those of “real” places she visited and knew well, from London’s West End to Lyme Regis to Bath.When it comes to Northanger Abbey, that talent is on full

This was when my head was firmly in 16th-century England, what I like to call the Tudorverse.I sold my debut novel, a historical mystery revolving around a young Dominican novice, to Touchstone (S&S) in the summer of 2010. My then-agent told me that, in addition to getting on social media, novelists often blog to build awareness of their books. That’s all I ne
Folk Horror: What Is It and Why Am I So Obsessed? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I write historical mysteries, and I devour such novels like crazy. I just finished reading an advance copy of Mariah Fredericks’ sensational Murder on 34th Street, and I’m diving into Alyssa Maxwell’s Murder at Rosecliff. And in the last week I also watched the film Hokum, directed by Damian McCarthy, with shivers of delight.Thanks for reading!
