Based in outback Queensland, Australia, surrounded by coal mines, dangerous reptiles, drop bears, and a wide blue sky, I am a writer, a mum, a cat-herder and a dog-whisperer. As a child my head was forever full of stories and characters, but I didn't know quite what to do with any of them. In my teens, I began to collect the words into tales and ever since, I have committed myself to the apprenticeship of an emerging writer. For many years I worked on my stories in my spare time, until the birth of my son in 2012 allowed me to focus on writing full time. I dabble in editing and proofreading, and I have completed a Bachelor of Education as well as studied towards a Post Graduate Certificate in Ancient History. My fantasy novel, Blood of Heirs is due for release in late 2018/early 2019.
