Lausanne Davis Carpenter

Lausanne Davis Carpenter writes historical fiction focused on the times and places rarely explored in conventional publishing. Drawing on a lifetime of fine art, stage design, and travel, she considers the world's far corners and the hinge points of history with passion and curiosity, aiming to observe, understand, and elucidate these to others through writing and fine art. Her new novel, Farewell, O Syria, plunges the reader into the consequences of the Byzantine-Persian wars and the explosive rise of the Saracens. This epic drama unfolds in a period largely neglected by the Western cannon, yet one whose seismic conflicts still shape the modern world. Lausanne is currently working on the next installment, following her characters as they navigate their ever-changing world.
