COVER THE MIRRORS - coming in November 2007 from Macmillan New Writing!
I write historical fiction, both novels and (occasionally) short stories. I have experimented with assorted time periods, but at present I am focusing on the Victorian era, and will be doing so for the forseeable future, as this is where my greatest passion lies.
I read my first historical novel when I was about seven or eight. It was a Victorian-era children's story by Penelope Lively, called Fanny and the Monsters. (Yes, I know!) In hindsight, it was my first exposure to the kind of story which is now my favourite to read or write; namely those set in another era, with a female protagonist who goes against the grain in some way; in this case the ten-year-old Fanny Stanton, who dislikes the gender roles of her time and prefers fossils to dolls and palaeontology to needlework. I still like that book.
I have a particular fondness for the history of those who have been dismissed throughout the years, hence my interest in the lives of women and those not counted among the privileged few of the aristocracy.
