About

I’m a food addicted, night owl writer who writes dark, gritty fantasy with complicated grey characters and plenty of violence… and a little splash of cuteness. I’m also a mother to a wacky little man & when I’m not working on my novels, you can usually find me down the yard talking to my horses about my plot problems… I also have a massive obsession with Buffy the Vampire Slayer & The X Files

I have been writing novels – seriously – since 2011, but I didn’t always want to be a writer, in fact until I reached the teen years, I hated reading all together. I came across a shelf at age 11 at school, that may only be read by children aged 13+. The rebellious part of me felt incensed that I may not know what was on that shelf and right then & there I swore to myself that once I hit 13 I would read every novel on there.

It was there that I found & absorbed the beauty & mind blowing fiction of Malorie Blackman. Noughts & Crosses was like a gateway drug that sucked me in & didn’t let go… it still hasn’t to this day. From that moment on I was hooked on words. Hooked on the idea that words put into a certain order could inspire such anger, misery, joy & elation.  I wanted to find it, understand it and most of all, create it myself…

Hobbies…

Reading, baking, horse riding, singing obnoxiously loudly at the expense of her family, doing housework but only when she’s meant to be writing

Favourite Books…

Noughts & Crosses by Malorie Blackman, Ashes Trilogy by Ilsa J Bick, The Lady Trent Memoirs by Marie Brennan and The Savior’s Champion by Jenna Moreci

Noveling Music…

I swing wildly between heavy rock music & country… like one after the other, really loudly, on repeat. It’s no surprise that I’m not my family’s favourite person when I do this
