MATRONS' HOUR

WHEN IN ROME

TURBOTS AND TOGAS

LINDSEY DAVIS

I was born and brought up in Birmingham, read English at Oxford, then joined the civil service. When I first started writing, I had romantic serials commissioned for Woman's Realm, then changed to writing about the Romans with The Course of Honour, the remarkable true love story of the Emperor Vespasian and his mistress Antonia Caenis. My research into imperial Rome inspired The Silver Pigs, about Marcus Didius Falco, a Roman informer in the AD70s, which has now attracted a devoted readership. 2000 sees publication of Ode to a Banker, the 12th Falco mystery. In September, Random House will also be publishing new editions of the first two books in the series, The Silver Pigs (with a new Author Introduction) and Shadows in Bronze. This is the first time the whole series has been together with one publisher, and is to be marked by a dramatic new look for the jackets.
The Silver Pigs won the Authors' Club Best First Novel for 1989, and I was awarded the CWA Dagger in the Library (for the author "whose work has given most pleasure") in 1995. More recently, I was thrilled to be the first winner of the new Ellis Peters Historical Dagger and a Sherlock Award to Falco for the Best Comic Detective of 1999.
My books are published in the UK and US, and translated into many other languages. I write occasional short stories and articles, and I review books for The Good Book Guide. I am a committee member of the UK Crimewriters Association. The Official Lindsey Davis Website is at. www.lindseydavis.co.uk.
