Our own stories are sometimes the trickiest ones to write, so I’ll be brief. I was born in New Zealand and raised in New Zealand and Canada. I lived on islands and surrounded by mountains, and fell asleep to the sound of waves and train whistles. Growing up, home was the label given to family, not places, and stories of adventure kept me reaching towards the horizon.

I am a Speech Language Pathologist currently living in Canada. I have a Bachelor of Arts in English, a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, and a Masters of Science in Speech and Language Pathology. I have devoured literature all my life and have spent the last three years working on my novel, Contest of Queens to add to the world’s library. This is my first novel and I am excited to say that it has been picked up by CamCat Books Publishing. Order it now!

If you don’t have time to get into a whole novel, but have a cup of tea ready, jump over to my Newsletter tab where you’ll find a collection of women-lead news, interviews, and short stories. I’ll be adding to this about once a month so feel free to subscribe if you want notifications about these espresso shots of content.
