About meWhen not bumping about Georgian London in my sedan chair or exchanging gossip with perfumed and patched courtiers in the gilded drawing rooms of Versailles, I write historical romances and crimances (crime with lashings of romance). They're all set in the 18th Century, spanning 1740 to early 1780's Georgian England, with occasional crossings to the France of Louis XV. I pull up the reins at the French Revolution - where I lost a previous life at the guillotine for my unpardonably hedonistic lifestyle as a layabout aristo.

About my libraryWork in progress!
Mainly non-fiction and biographical works about Georgian England and 18th Century France. (started my library with Alfred Cobban's A History of Modern France, Volume 1: 1715-1799 at age 11).
Collect Georgette Heyer's regency and detective novels - paperback, hardcover, different editions and have many first edition - mostly Australian hardcovers.
Collect books, magazines etc containing the works of Norman Lindsay (Australian artist and writer)
