Rural Australian author, lover of horses and dogs, drinker of tea. My best friends are my horses, my cats and my dog. I like walking barefoot in the creek and picking blackberries in summer. I firmly believe that the best stories are the ones that come straight from the heart and that's why I'll never publish anything that I wasn't excited to write. I've been writing stories all my life - my mother would tell you I've been doing it since before I even knew the alphabet. In June of 2015, the day after I handed in my final uni assignment, I sat down to write what would become my debut novel, A Change in the Dreaming. Although I had several other drafts of finished novels already saved on my hard drive, this one joined together my two strongest passions, writing and brumbies, and I knew it would be the first one I released to the world in February 2016. Later that year I also published Tomorrow, a novella I'd written some years earlier.

​

I've got several books in various stages of jotting-down, and several more still just floating around as ideas in my head. Some will get written down, some probably will not. I draw my inspiration from the rural Australian landscape, especially my beloved mountains, from the characters I meet, from my animals, and from random things I see or hear that spark something in my imagination. Sometimes, my stories are startling real-life, other times they're entwined with a twist of fantasy and magic. Because if we don't put a little bit of magic into our lives, who will?
