About this author

Before I began writing books full time, I worked for more than ten years as a journalist, including stints as Moscow correspondent for the Associated Press and White House correspondent for the Baltimore Sun. Four of my five books -- all works of history -- have dealt in some way with London during World War II, a subject which has fascinated me since I co-wrote my first book, "The Murrow Boys," with my husband, Stan Cloud. My latest book, "Citizens of London," follows in this tradition. One of my books has won the Christopher Award, and another has been shortlisted for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in history.
I currently live in Washington, D.C. with my husband and two dogs.
