I write books about magic, mystery, myths, and general mayhem, and they’re action-packed!
My primary series is adult urban fantasy, called White Haven Witches. There’s lots of magic, action, and a little bit of romance.
My YA series, Rise of the King, is about a teen named Tom and his discovery that he is a descendant of King Arthur. It’s a fun-filled, clean read with a new twist on the Arthurian tales.
I’ve got loads of ideas for future books in all of my series, including spin-offs, novellas, and short stories, so if you’d like to be kept up to date, subscribe to my newsletter. You’ll get free short stories, character sheets, and other fun stuff. Interested? Subscribe here.
I was born in England, in the Black Country, but moved to New Zealand 16 years ago. England is great, but I’m over the traffic! And then recently I made another big move to Portugal! I live in the Algarve with my partner, Jase, and my cats, Sacha and Leia. When I’m not busy writing I read lots, indulge in gardening and shopping, and I love yoga.
Confession time! I’m a Star Trek geek—old and new—and love urban fantasy and detective shows. My secret passion is Columbo! My favourite Star Trek film is The Wrath of Khan, the original! Other top films for me are Predator, the original, and Aliens.
In a previous life, I was a singer in a band, and used to do some acting with a theatre company. On occasion, a few friends and I like to make short films, which begs the question, where are the book trailers? I’m thinking on it…

Why magic and mystery?
I’ve always loved the weird, the wonderful, and the inexplicable. My favourite stories are those of magic and mystery, set on the edges of the known, particularly tales of folklore, faerie, and legend—all the narratives that try to explain our reality.
The King Arthur stories are fascinating because they sit between reality and myth. They encompass real life concerns, but also cross boundaries with the world of faerie—or the Otherworld, as I call it. There are green knights, witches, wizards, and dragons, and that’s what I find particularly fascinating. They are stories that have intrigued people for generations, and like many others, I’m adding my own interpretation.
I also love witches and magic, hence my additional series set in beautiful Cornwall. There are witches, missing grimoires, supernatural threats, and ghosts, and as the series progresses, even weirder stuff happens.
Have a poke around in my blog posts, and you’ll find all sorts of articles about my series and my characters, and quite a few book reviews.
