About Me

Always having a passion for writing and storytelling, I have been developing and refining my skills since childhood. Frequently winning regional writing competitions in my early teens, I have always had the knack for a great story or two. My first novel ‘Jacob's Journey’ was a nationwide success emulating a book signing tour hosted by Ottakar's book stores.

A lover of English classics and literature, I have spent nearly a decade living in Australia, with my husband and two children. Taking inspiration from my surroundings I have a mind full of innovative and breathtakingly gripping storylines and character ideas.

I am now in the process of launching my exciting new young adult fantasy adventure novel ‘Eye of the Portal’, and starting a whole new journey into the paranormal realm with an upcoming release in the making which is bound to be a groundbreaking reader experience.

Eye of the Portal

Anyone can pass through… Not everyone comes back.

Jacob is dismayed when he discovers his parents are swapping the bright lights of the city for the tranquillity of the countryside and resigns his life to one of loneliness and discontent.

But when a centuries old secret, hidden within the walls of his new home, thrusts him through a magical gateway, a chain of events is triggered, and he finds himself trapped in a terrifying and dangerous world.

Unable to leave, this reluctant hero is forced to set his fears aside in order to rescue a kidnapped girl and defeat the evil that has forever plagued this land. But is he brave enough when failure risks death, or worse still, being stuck there forever?

Inspiration behind My Mate Mo

my mate mo drawings

Inspired by the recent annual tradition of ‘Mo-vember’ where men will not shave for the entirety of november and raise money for charities, the idea for My Mate Mo was born. These original sketches made in the early days of the Mo idea give a true indication to the magic and wonder I set out to achieve with the series. Once the sketching and illustration style was set and finalised, seeing the creation come to life before me only inspired me more to make a fun and memorable book series for young children.

Jacob's Journey

Originally released and published in 2003, Jacob's Journey is the base and origin to the current ‘Eye of the Portal’. Jacob's Journey was my first fully fledged novel and its success inspired me to carry on with my passion for writing enticing stories and creating and sharing characters and locations. A personal highlight of the whole ‘Jacob's Journey’ experience was my book signing at Ottakar's, an event I would love to relive one day soon with my releases.
