I have enjoyed reading medieval historical fiction, especially novels about the Plantagenet dynasty.  But they were not the only powerhouse dynasty in Medieval Europe.  Looking into other medieval kingdoms, beyond Britain and France, I discovered many lesser-known kings and queens whose stories are good material for a historical novel.  But there are not many novels about them- at least in English anyway.  I've always enjoyed writing stories too.  So I'm using the opportunity to bring these little-known rulers to life.


My current project is The Angevin Queens of Hungary series. Currently, I am mainly working on Between two Queens. Once done, I will work on the prequel, Queen at the Crossroads. .

Works-in-Progress
The Angevin Queens of Hungary Series:
Queen at the Crossroads (Elizabeth of Poland/Elżbieta Łokietkówna)
Between Two Queens (Elizabeth of Poland/Elżbieta Łokietkówna and Elizabeth of Bosnia/Elizabeta Kotromanić)

Other: The Last Revenge (Olga of Kyiv).
