The Messy Truth is my debut novel and is the story of three people: Ophelia, Laura, and Jakob who are caught in an Oedipal love triangle. The text alternates settings from the 1980s to modern day as we follow the love story of Jakob and Laura alongside the self-discovery journey of Ophelia.

I am in the process of revising my novel through the help of my self-selected focus group as well as my colleagues in my local writing group. I would also love feedback from my new Wattpad communities.

Would love any feedback or thoughts you have to offer.
