Táto autorka čerpá inšpiráciu z vidieckeho detstva a z domu plného kníh, čo v nej prebudilo celoživotnú lásku k príbehom. Jej literárna tvorba sa vyznačuje hlbokým záujmom o ženské hrdinky a historické zápletky, kde majstrovsky prelína napätie s psychologickou hĺbkou postáv.

Práca editorky beletrie jej navyše dáva jedinečný vhľad do remesla, ktorý premieta do svojich vlastných rozprávaní.
