ancient

N.L. Holmes is the pen name of a professional archaeologist who received her doctorate from Bryn Mawr College. She has excavated in Greece and in Israel, and taught ancient history and humanities at the university level for many years. She has always had a passion for books, and in childhood, she and her cousin (also a writer today) used to write stories for fun. Now that their son is grown, she lives with her husband and three cats, splitting her time between Florida and northern France, where she plays the violin, weaves, gardens–and reads, of course.
