Tinney Sue Heath's background is in journalism, but it was very nearly in music instead. When she is not writing about medieval Italy, you will probably find her playing medieval and Renaissance Italian music on a variety of peculiar early instruments. She lives in Madison, Wisconsin with her husband but spends as much time in Italy as possible, for research and other pleasures.
For more about her books and about medieval Italy, sign up for her newsletter on her website: www.tinneyheath.com. Newsletter subscribers also get a free download of her novella-length book Cantilena for Seven Voices: Dante's Women Speak. This collection of character sketches and vignettes channels seven 13th century women we know from Dante's' life and work, and it is not available anywhere else.
Heath's first novel, A Thing Done, was a co-winner of the Sharp Writ Book Award for 2014, Fiction category. It is currently out of print, but a second edition will be coming out soon.
