About
Me
Originally from South Africa, I hold a BA in English Literature and Creative Writing. With over five years in the marketing industry, I’ve developed a particular fascination with how social media brings readers together and helps stories find their audience.
Now based in Hampshire, UK, I spend my time writing young adult and adult fantasy, often balanced with long countryside walks alongside my hyperactive Cocker Spaniel. When I’m not immersed in fictional worlds, you’ll likely find me indulging a growing candle obsession or enjoying a perfectly brewed cup of coffee.
