My new historical novel, The French Blue, tells the facinating story of Jean Baptiste Tavernier, French adventurer and gem dealer and the back story of the Hope Diamond.

40 years and 60,000 years. From the seraglios of Persia to the Empire of Shah Jahan. A quest, an adventure and a love story explode across a panorama of two continents. Sample chapters available online.
