International woman of history, biographer, posh doomer, thwarted nihilist, not goth, Saint-Just fan girl, chaotic good, anxious, flame haired Robespierre, ENFP, a sweet titbit for the Devil's mouth.

Currently working hard on my fifth book - a biography of Madame Élisabeth, sister of Louis XVI.

Book six will be looking at women guillotined during the Reign of Terror, while book seven will be MY LIFE'S WORK - a biography of Louis-Antoine de Saint-Just.

(If you're wondering where the 'sweet titbit for the devil's mouth' came from - apparently John Knox wrote it about one of my ancestresses, along with calling her a 'very Jezebel'.)
