She has had six books published, including three novels. Her latest novel, The Naked Name of Love, was published in March 2009 by John Murray.

 "I gave you my wolf and I would have tamed an eagle for you. I have waited to see you again when none believed that you should ever return. I would have waited for ever..."

A beautiful story of West meeting East and of a love that transcends culture, faith and ultimately, tragedy, this is both a novel on an epic scale and an astonishingly intimate story.
