Moving to London in 2000 she began writing ‘ The Four Emperors’ series. The series comprises four books – Palatine, Galba’ s Men, Otho’ s Regret and Vitellius’ Feast – which cover the dramatic fall of Nero and the chaotic year of the four emperors that followed. She is a regular contributor to The History Girls blog and once received an Editor’ s Choice mark from The Historical Novel Society. Her proudest moment remains creating #phallusthursday a popular Twitter hashtag dedicated to depictions of penises in antiquity.
