edit data

I’m a life-long history buff and I really wish time travel were a possibility—I’d be off to the eighteenth century in a flash!

Since I can’t travel back in time (yet), I have done plenty of global travel: as a child I lived in England, Canada, Argentina, and Lesotho, and attended eight schools in three languages. I continued my global wanderings with a career in international development, but now I’m settled in Toronto and loving it.

The Sisters of Versailles is my first novel, though I’ve been writing since I could hold a pencil. When I’m not writing I’m reading, reading, reading; disappearing down various rabbit holes of historical research, and playing lots of tennis.

Sally Christie answered Nancy L Owens's question: I saw an ad on FB for your new book, "Apricots" and i am now following you on FB and GR. Historical Fiction is my favorite genre but i read a variety of F & NF books. What historical fiction writers have YOU enjoyed over the years? My living favorites are: Ken Follett & Philippa Gregory. Among my favorite dead authors: Norah Lofts, Anya Seton, and Margaret Frazer (convent mystery series, 15th cent. England). Hi Nancy, Thanks for the question. Anya Seton was great, and I plowed through all of Jean Plaidy when I was younger. These days I count Emma Donoghue as my absolute favorite, and also love Margaret George and recently really enjoyed the Hilary Mantel See Full Answer
