I'm so excited to share my newest novel, HESTER, with you. This is a prequel and a retelling of Hawthorne's classic novel THE SCARLET LETTER, in which he links female passion and shame. My HESTER is Isobel Gamble, a young Scottish seamstress new to Salem in 1829, who falls in love with aspiring writer Nat Hawthorne and inspires his first novel.

I'm also the author of STOLEN BEAUTY, a novel about love, art, courage and war that illuminates the intimate lives of two remarkable Viennese women whose fates and awakenings are bound by Gustav Klimt and his golden portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer.

Thanks for visiting and for reading.
