Welcome, I write historical fiction, and conspiracy thrillers set in the art world, which have been published worldwide in many languages. I like to give my readers a new slant on a famous painter, ie. Caravaggio, and tell his story alongside the machinations of the 21st century art world.

I am very passionate about art and history. Especially historical intrigue, corruption, and uncovering the past.

My next trilogy is set in the Medieval Ages and covers new - and explosive - ground. It tells the story of the rivalry between the church and the nobility, set against the brutality of the dark ages. This trilogy is wide sweeping, with a cast list of characters spanning sixty years. All of them are involved, or caught up, in blood-thirsty politics and wars. This is the most ambitious series I have written, and it promises to be eye opening.

The last book of my trilogy about THE BORGIAS was published in July 2022. Taking a different slant, I'm investigating the corruption and depravity at that time in Rome - not just outside the family, but inside as well. In its true that the BORGIAS were seeped in decadence, greed, simony and sexual excess - yet their contemporaries were also villains when it suited them. The likes of Cardinal della Rovere, Savonarola, Machiavelli and Leonardo da Vinci, who became a military advisor to Cesare Borgia.
