Zoë is a writer based in Los Angeles, California. She is the author of the ancient Mediterranean-inspired fantasy series The Realm of Emmeson, the historical novel The Sun of God set in Ancient Rome, and the YA romance novel My Sister’s Best Friend.

Zoë graduated from Williams College with a degree in Classics, specializing in Ancient Greek and Latin. She is a proud Centrista, having studied abroad in Rome at the Intercollegiate Center of Classical Studies. She is currently a graduate student in the Proto-Indo-European program at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), interested in Homeric Greek and the mytho-poetic comparisons with Sanskrit.

When she’s not writing or learning dead (and some modern) languages, Zoë can also be found in Lisboa, her second home, traveling to her beloved haunts on the Mediterranean Sea, and most likely by the beach reading her favorite classic novels by Jane Austen and D.H. Lawrence, an epic fantasy series or two, and anything written by J.R.R. Tolkien.
