About
I write gritty, angsty stories with forehead kisses & the occasional explosion
What’s my backstory?
Born and raised in Australia, I spent the hot summer days inside reading, saving money on SPF, and being an overachiever at school (if it required research and references, I was here for it). Now a nostalgic thirty-something, I’ve calmed down on the overachieving (lie) but I’m still super mindful about sunscreen application (truth—my skin doctor loves me). I'm a serial cookie-in-tea dunker and Spotify playlist curator and adore writing slow-burn, high-stakes fantasy romance you can giggle-kick over.
I graduated from the University of Queensland, majoring in Communications and—when I’m not travelling—reside in Brisbane, Australia with my partner, a stack of TBR books I promise I’ll read someday, and a growing array of indoor house plants. They’re still alive. I think.
What stories do I tell?
An addiction to angsty, female-led stories, young adult novels, video games like Tomb Raider, and shows like The Vampire Diaries nurtured the style of books I write today. My stories celebrate the agency and empowerment of women—and are also heavy on the romance. Come for the morally grey characters and banter. Stay for the feels.
The Shadow Cages series
The Shadow Cages series is a trilogy of interconnected standalone novels that mix mafia vibes, the themes from X-Men, and the found family and urban set up of The Mortal Instruments against the backdrop of modern-day Europe. Each book contains a strong female lead, an excruciating forced proximity slow burn, bonkers action scenes, and morally grey everyone.
The first book in the series, Control My Night is an international award winner, having won the Australian Romance Readers Association 2024 “Favourite Debut Romance Author” award, the Romance Writers New Zealand Koru Excellence Award 2025 for “Best First Book”, and as finalist for various other awards in 2024 and 2025.
The next book in the series, Shatter My Night, will be released in November 2026.
