Writer. Reader. Perpetual student. From the Dwarf. Never caffeinated enough.

Born in New Zealand to a Brit and an Australian, I am a writer from South Australia with a passion for all things storytelling. I love reading, writing, TV and movies, gaming, and spending time with family and friends. I am an avid fan of British comedy, superheroes, and SuperWhoLock. I have too many favourite books, but I fell in love with reading after finding Isobelle Carmody's 'Obernewtyn'. I am obsessed with all things mythological - my current focus being old-style Irish faeries.

My books have won awards and sold 300,000 copies worldwide in print, ebook and audio. I have 60+ published with Sleeping Dragon Books, for readers from Middle Grade to Adult ranging from adventure to romance. And many more are in the works.

I have a Master of Arts (Writing), a Graduate Diploma in Research Methods (Creative Writing), a Master of Arts (Editing and Publishing - Indie Book Marketing), and am currently working towards my PhD (Creative Writing - morally grey characters and the value of darkness in Dark Romantasy).

I live in Adelaide with my long-suffering husband, smol human child, delirious dog, mad cat, two chickens who are scared of free-ranging, a turtle with a penchant for sticking her head in her filter pipe, and a cranky bunny.
