Lotharingia is set in the eleventh-century Holy Roman Empire. It follows the youth of Matilde, Countess of Tuscany, destined to become the most powerful woman of the day, as she tries to forge her path in a men's world. It is also a large-scale tapestry of the great women and men that changed the course of European history at the dawn of the second millenium.
A Historical Novel Society Editor's Choice, it won the World Historical Fiction Gold Medal at the Historical Fiction Press Book of the Year Awards, and made the Page Turner Awards' 2020 shortlist. It reached the Amazon Best Sellers no.1 spot in multiple categories in the UK, Canada, and Australia.
The Road to Canossa is the second volume of the Comitissa series. It picks up where Lotharingia left off, constructing a probable tale out of the most dramatic events of the Investiture Controversy. Matilde and Heinrich will meet again, in very different circumstances.
The paperback was released on March 2, 2013. The ebook is available for pre-order and will be published on March 28, 2023.
