I write stories, primarily aimed at Middle Grade readers (age 9-12), featuring exciting adventure, science fiction, fantasy and more. I love creating characters and worlds that aim to flex a child’s imagination. I’ve also written screenplays and children’s picture books.
I’ve studied with the Golden Egg Academy and been shortlisted and longlisted for competitions with Write Mentor, Chicken House Books and The Oxford Centre for Fantasy/Pushkin Books.
My debut novel, published by Toller Press is ‘Underlings: The Spark Engine’. This book delves into dystopian science fiction territory, following characters through a subterranean city riddled with secrets. Passing comparisons could be Jeanne DuPrau’s ‘City of Ember’ or Hugh Howey’s ‘Silo’ series.
The best place to keep up to date with me on social media is probably my Instagram.

Underlings: The Spark Engine
Barely surviving in the machine-powered subterranean city of Lode, lone Underling Evin discovers a skeletal hand clutching a cryptic note.
Driven to unlock Lode’s secrets, Evin and her mech-dog Jet face danger at every turn: unscrupulous bullies, brutish guards and the deadly fumes of the dragonsbreath.
But to reveal the truth, Evin must trust new friendships, battle her way upwards and confront the city’s deceptive leader, Cardinal Mavka, before the world she knows comes crashing down.
