I’ve been a storyteller all my life. Professionally, I use language to construct bridges of understanding between philanthropists and their causes. Privately I’ve spent decades telling stories to my child, Stellar the husky, Grace the cat and pretty much anyone with the love of a good yarn.
In 2019, I launched my debut novel, Letters from the Light, first published by Inspired Quill (UK) followed by Emoto’s Promise in 2020, and Missals from the Dark in 2022. I’ve also had short stories published in various anthologies, and have been a featured artist at the Emerging Writers Festival. In 2025 my first screenplay Last Sentinel was a semi-finalist in the Imagine This Women’s Film Festival.
Whilst mostly set in the sci-fantasy genre, my stories only use science as the backdrop against which characters struggle with the contemporary issues of class, gender, disability rights and abuse of power. Actually it’s all a bit dystopian.
I’m a passionate believer that all our small lives are connected, valuable and critical to the collective journey. Check me out on Goodreads. Or find me on Australia Reads.
Thank you for connecting with me and reading my work.
