I love history - no matter whose - and I am especially inspired by myths, ancient folklore and fairytales. So, you will find many of these themes in my stories in some form or another.
For example, Frost Moons and Golden Apples is a story woven around the Norse Mythology; Hessa's Fire plays out in the time of the Arab Spring; Treason is set against the backdrop of the Gunpowder Plot - a Catholic conspiracy to murder King James the First of England in the 17th century; and Old Wounds and Forever Afters is inspired by several Shakespeare quotes.
