Welcome to my website!
I’m a fantasy/horror author, who dreams wildly and writes chaotically. If my life had to be summed up in one word, that would be it: chaos.
Please take a look at my work, my random thoughts, and my latest news – often posted late, but hey, better late than never right?”

Synthetica is a great read, it has all my favourite book components, dystopia/utopia setting, crazy tech, hint of romance, scary villain and a great female lead.
This is such a fun and exciting read. As soon as I read the plot I was hooked. Straight away it sounded like a Young Adult/Science Fiction/1984/ technology taking over mash up of entertainment, and it completely is. Synthetica will have you caught up straight away, and leave you eagerly anticipating the sequel.
This book reads easy, fast and is filled with plenty of action. I was hooked from the first sentence and found myself accompanying Anais on her journey.

Strange New Worlds
There’s one thing I’d love to be discovered before I die – the existence of life on other planets. I feel like we’re getting closer all time; way back in secondary school I remember a teacher telling us about a strange signal in space that no one could figure out. All...
Hard vs soft sci-fi – what’s the difference?
I’ve been reading and watching a lot of sci-fi lately as I write the first draft of Cyber. Personally, I find that the more I immerse myself within my chosen genre(s), the easier I find it write – so when I return to writing my fantasy series, you can guarantee I’ll...
My First Royalties
Last week I decided to start changing my Amazon page over to my new pen name. I haven’t actually logged onto KDP for years (that’s apparently what having a baby/moving house/starting several new jobs etc does to me – but then again, I already knew I’d accidentally let...
