It is a serious historical novel in the well-researched, realist mode established by Sir Walter Scott 1 that deconstructs the intersectional construction of the oppressive discourse of gender, sexual orientation, and race (Reid, 2015).

My six novels, most recently Hild, have all won awards and been translated other languages.
