About the author

In graduate school, I focused on the ancient history of Greece and Rome. I was hooked by the "sword and sandal" world, and studied everything I could about mythology and Alexander the Great.

The Homeric Chronicles series is dedicated to merging dozens of Greek myths, including Homer's epics, with plays, history, and archaeology. I wanted to write an epic that had all the mythological figures in it, raising the heroines' voices equally alongside the heroes, opening up a traditionally male focused genre to a female audience.
