Thought I'd introduce myself. I'm a historical mystery author with too many history degrees.
I write novels set in the Medieval, Georgian and Regency eras. If you picture Jane Austen + murder, that's my style.
Kelly Reilly's masterful portrayal of Caroline Bingley in P+P is my spirit animal.

So the trailer for the new adaptation of Wuthering Heights has dropped and it's raising a few eyebrows, especially among period drama purists like me.
I spoke with @newsweek.com about why. 👇

How much does Fashion make a Writer?

I haven't managed to write a chilling villain yet. But what I like most about my villains is that the smarter ones have a back up plan and escape, even after they've been caught. It's often a HFN ending... Or is it?
#HorrorWritersChat is the one time I really regret having the alt text prompt on...
More villain stuff. We all have a favourite most scary antagonist. I don't make that many, but then, I'm a fan of humanity being the bad guy. What about you?

I love this. I don't write horror, but I like it. I write historical mysteries.
For an origin story I'm thinking... a younger sister wants desperately to be valued but falls in with the wrong crowd, does something stupid for attention and wakes up with a bad case of a curse that sucks her soul...

My MC Dawn stars in this novel with single POV. She's lovely and sweet, her fav colour is sky blue and she likes dolphins. Wants to be a marine biologist when she grows up, or a cheerleader for the Dallas Cowboys, whichever comes first.
She's everything I'm not, which is why it was fun to write!
