about this author
I am a young adult author living in Massachusetts. I love reading historical fiction and non-fiction, magical real/fantasy and contemporary...pretty much everything, if it sounds good! I've always been fascinated by fairy tales, mythology, and legends.
My first book, The Blood Confession, is historical fantasy based on the legends of Countess Bathory, a sixteenth century Hungarian Countess who believed that bathing in the blood of virgins would keep her young and beautiful for eternity.
My second book, to be published by Dutton Books on March 19, 2009, is The King's Rose, about Catherine Howard, the fifth wife of King Henry VIII.

"It's a middle grade novel about the bliss and despair involved in artistic creation. No, I'm not kidding. And, as if that isn't enough, it's funny and the end made me weep with joy. Brilliant.
