I am an archaeologist with 20 years experience in the Mediterranean and Near East. I have published over a dozen scholarly articles and edited scholarly volumes. However, I have now written an epic fantasy YA novel and have plans for a series. My training in anthropology and ancient history informs my world-building. I am interested in combining contemporary themes of climate change, sea level rise, war, bigotry, and social strife with stories of coming-of-age and redemption. I like stories that build on family, loyalty, friendship, and the powers of the natural world. The characters I imagine are all shapes and sizes, genders and sexualities, abled and disabled, forever seeking clarity in a world of moral grays.
