Welcome to my site! I write historical fiction, sometimes with a contemporary narrative. I’m also a freelancer; click on “nonfiction” above to see my work.
Under the pen name Lynn Carthage, I write this neo-Gothic series for those who love haunted English manor houses.
LITERARY AGENTS:
I’m actively seeking representation, both for several completed novels and for two book-length nonfiction projects still in proposal form. Contact me via email or Twitter DMs. I’d love to talk.
For more:
To travel to medieval Germany where an elder woman is accused of witchcraft by her own daughter in law, click on The Witch’s Trinity.
To travel to the Gold Rush with prostitute Nora Simms, pushed into being a detective as women of her profession are murdered, click on Woman of Ill Fame.
To travel to 1892 Massachusetts with the real-life woman who was Lizzie Borden’s Irish servant, click on Murderer’s Maid.
Blogging:
I blog, with varying frequency, on all things historical at a different site: World of Mailman. Feel free to click over, but please come back! If you’re particularly interested in Lizzie Borden posts, look for the tag at the upper right hand corner at that page, and it’ll hook you up with All Things Lizzie. (You can also click on “blog” above and it will take you straight there. It’s like a portkey.)
