Caroline Lawrence

Caroline Lawrence grew up in Bakersfield, California, and claims that some of her ancestors were pioneers, teamsters, and newspapermen. Caroline moved to England to study classics at Cambridge University. After a decade of immersing herself in Roman history to write the Roman Mysteries series, Caroline is now mining the rich vein of American history during the tumultuous 1860s. She currently lives in London, by the river, with her history-loving husband. She is the author of the P.K. Pinkerton series.
