Currently working as an independent scholar and fiction writer. 

On True Crime Medieval, the only podcast focused exclusively on true crime in the Middle Ages, Anne Brannen and I cover medieval crimes and how they reverberate through the years.  It turns out people stole, poisoned, ambushed, cheated, manipulated, massacred, and murdered every bit as much during the Middle Ages as now. Which is depressing, or perhaps encouraging, depending on how you look at it. We ourselves find the sad predictability of human misbehavior reassuring. There is something to be said for consistency, after all.  

My debut novel, Homegoing, was released by Pink Narcissus Press in 2014. A second novel, The Last Abbot of Linn Duachaill, co-authored with Jess Barry, was published by S&H Publishing in 2015. Maudlin of Nowhere, the next book in the Tall Ships of Saradena series (after Homegoing), is currently with my editor and will be released in 2025.
