Als een pionier in het Gaslamp Fantasy-genre duikt haar werk in het bovennatuurlijke en het duister betoverende. Voortbouwend op haar achtergrond in theater en kunst, creëert ze boeiende verhalen met een dramatische flair en een unieke stilistische handtekening.

    • What fortune awaited sweet, timid Percy Parker at Athens Academy? Hidden in the dark heart of Victorian London, the Romanesque school was dreadfully imposing, a veritable fortress, and little could Percy guess what lay inside. She had never met its powerful and mysterious Professor Alexi Rychman, knew nothing of the growing shadows, of the Ripper and other supernatural terrors against which his coterie stood guard. She saw simply that she was different, haunted, with her snow white hair, pearlescent skin and uncanny gift. This arched stone doorway was a portal to a new life, to an education far from what could be had at a convent -- and it was an invitation to an intimate yet dangerous dance at the threshold of life and death...
