Deze auteur creëert historische fictie vanuit haar huis in het Engelse Lake District. Haar leesbenadering is onderscheidend, gericht op hedendaagse en klassieke fictie, en ze vermijdt zorgvuldig het recenseren van werken die zij als ondermaats beschouwt, als blijk van respect voor collega-schrijvers. Haar eigen schrijven duikt in rijke verhalen die zich in het verleden afspelen, wat een diepe waardering voor literaire kwaliteit weerspiegelt.
