Hello, thanks to KU and GR, I've become online pals with Jacquie, and of course she led me to you. Your books are wonderful -- "The Third Daughter" simply astonished me. What's next?

Yes, Jacquie is great, and I’m hoping to be just like her when I grow up! I’m so happy that you enjoyed “The Third Daughter”, as I am very fond of Junia Tertia. She lived at a remarkable time, and I am convinced she was a redoubtable woman.
At the moment I’m working on the second of a series revolving around the poet Ovid in exile. He is a hugely enjoyable character - for me at any rate! It should be out in the autumn.
Are you a big Roman fan? If you are likely to be in London in the next few months there is an exhibition at the British Museum that looks terrific - Legion. All about the Roman army. I’m sure I shall bump into Jacquie there, so we’ll make sure we post a selfie or two.
If you would be interested in a short story or two, let me know. I’m contactable on fiona@fionaforsythauthor.co.uk
Keep in touch!(less)
