I write novels about women who rule. Matriarchal fantasy as G.R., historical fiction as Greer. Out now: The Thirteenth Husband, inspired by Aimée Crocker.

I really wish it were as simple as so many people today seem to believe, that their lives will get better as immeasurable others’ get worse. But it’s not just a terrible trade-off to ask for. It also isn’t true.

A delightful end-of-year surprise from BookBub — and from readers who saw a mention of The Thirteenth Husband and thought “Ooh, I want that!” Mysticism and scandal and tattoos and more scandal and parties thrown for boa constrictors and so much more, all inspired by Aimée Crocker’s real wild life.
