Bio

When I was a kid, I hated reading. I loved movies. I was sure that’s what I wanted to do when I grew up; make films. My experience of books was that they were boring and took a long time to get through. Then one day during forced library time in year 9, I discovered Lois Duncan.

 

I had never read a book so fast. It was like a movie, only better because I knew what people were thinking, what was going on behind closed doors. Kids my age had paranormal powers and were doing amazing things that their parent’s wouldn’t like. That book made me want to become a writer.

 

It’s been a few years since I was in year 9, and my desire to write has never wavered in all that time. The action of writing has dropped off on occasion, especially between 2020-2023 as my publication page can attest, but the desire has always been there.

 

I still love all things paranormal, but I also love science fiction and my zoology degree has led to me writing more than a couple of monster stories (yes, all that study in comparative physiology has meant I can make some pretty plausible critters – totally worth the HECS debt).

 

I do suffer from the problem of not swimming in the same lane, so while all my fiction falls under the general umbrella of ‘speculative fiction’ some of it is humorous, some horror, some high concept sci fi, some political comment and some weird dark stuff that I just need to get out of my brain.

 

So please check out my publications page and try a few different links, I’m sure you’ll find something you like. If you want to reach out, please try my Facebook page or Instagram. I am notoriously bad for checking social media, so if you know me and want to get in contact, I’ve still got the same email and phone number that I’ve had for 20+ years, so use those.

​

​I hope you enjoy my writing, and in the not-too-distant future I hope to have some novels to share with you. I really want to be a Lois Duncan for another kid out there one day.
