With the gods as your allies, your life, your world, and your sanity have never been in more danger. 

An exhilarating tale of deception and determination, hostile ambition and daring heroism perfect for fans of Clash of the Titans, as well as historical fantasy fiction by Madeline Miller, S.J.A Turney, Kendare Blake, and Glyn IliffeThe Maze of Minos is the third installment in the Osteria Chronicles, a captivating series in which the myths of Ancient Greece come to life as you’ve never seen them before. 

Soon after returning home to celebrate his father's recent marriage, Theseus learns his kingdom must submit to the cruel demands of an unexpected enemy. Goaded by his father’s new wife, Theseus volunteers to defend his land by entering a battle to the death in the pitch black depths of an ancient maze. A battle against a monster of the gods’ creation. A battle no other has survived. 

Aided by the goddess Aphrodite, Theseus stands a stronger chance of triumph than the other challengers, but as ever, the gods’ kindness harbors ulterior motives. His bravery, his sacrifice, his struggle to push his world back from the brink of war only serves to further Aphrodite’s goals. Goals that will destroy the stability of Osteria and anyone who stands in her way.​​​​​​​

Who Am I? Here's the Quick & Dirty Version

I'm an award-winning author who turns wickedly strong tea into imaginative fiction. With a creative and curious mind, my stories run the gamut from historical fantasy to modern-day paranormal, and magical realism to humor-laced dark fantasy.

I've got two, complete historical fantasy series under my belt: The Osteria Chronicles and Domna, plus a fair number of short stories

Right now, I'm at work on a contemporary fantasy trilogy that’s filled with magic, mystery, snarky humor, and zombies because who doesn’t love zombies…especially ones with a posh British accent.

I'm also the host of The Book Owl Podcast where I explore the tales of quirky books and literary lore. It's a book nerd's paradise over there so be sure to give it a listen wherever you listen to podcasts.

When I'm not creating worlds or tormenting my characters, I conjure homemade wine and beer, plod around in the garden, and travel near and far (or dream about doing so for the time being).
