Cette auteure s'appuie sur sa vaste expérience en archéologie, l'utilisant comme élément fondamental de ses œuvres littéraires. Ses premières années passées en Afrique et en Irlande, suivies de son installation en Angleterre, ont façonné sa vision du monde. Une fascination d'enfance pour l'archéologie, initialement déclenchée par une incompréhension concernant les dinosaures, s'est transformée en une profonde appréciation de l'histoire et de la culture qui informe son écriture. Sa carrière antérieure d'illustratrice archéologique confère à ses récits une perspective visuelle unique et axée sur les détails.
