My first love was poetry and you still catch me performing my prose poetry at spoken word events occasionally. I promote these events on my news page and blog. I turned to writing fiction in early 2016. 

I received a huge injection of enthusiasm when I won a prize in the first short story competition I ever entered – the Financial Crime Prize for the 2017 Scarlet Stiletto Awards, and subsequently set out to write my first novel. I have recently completed a manuscript for an eco-crime fiction novel set in Victoria.

You can read samples of my fiction and poetry on this website and follow my blog where I primarily post a weekly review on what I’m reading or seeing at the theatre.

I grew up in Melbourne’s east and have lived in East Gippsland, London, Portugal, Murchison on the Goulburn River, and Elsternwick before settling in Warrandyte.

When not working in my communications day job or writing I can be found in my garden or wandering the bushland near where I live.
