Anthea Laurelton writes sweeping romances inspired by
Ancient Sparta and Greek mythology. Her stories combine historical elements,
forbidden love, dangerous quests and emotionally complex heroines for readers
of mythological and historical fantasy.
A fan of sword and sandal movies, her plots blend slow-burn romance, dangerous quests, warrior culture and family intrigue for readers who crave epic adventures. Falling in love with Greek mythology at the age of thirteen, her love of the Spartans especially, came after reading Roger Lancelyn Green's THE TALE OF TROY where she cheered on Menelaus to take his queen back!
She left a career in IT to pursue her passion for storytelling and pander to an extremely spoilt German Shepherd whom she refers to as 'The Muse'.
A former equestrian, Anthea enjoys keeping active and has a bucket list of travel destinations waiting to be fulfilled.
