About
Me
Originally from South Africa, I hold a BA in English Literature and Creative Writing. With over five years of experience in the marketing industry, I'm especially intrigued by the power of social media to connect readers and sell books. Now based in Hampshire, UK, I'm often found exploring countryside trails with my beloved Cocker Spaniel. When I'm not writing young adult and adult fantasy novels, I'm likely feeding my candle obsession or savouring a perfectly brewed cup of coffee.
