At twenty-five, she combined her passion for researchinghistory and spinning stories. Her daughter Kate claims even the family dogs were discovered while researching King Charles II - Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.

From that fascination, the concepts for The Virgin Queen's Daughter and The Reluctant Queen emerged.
