My Writing
I've always been fascinated by the stories that shape us. The relationships we treasure, the secrets we keep, the choices we make and the moments that change everything.
My writing spans contemporary fiction, memoir and psychological crime. While the genres may differ, each explores the complexities of human nature, the resilience of the human spirit and the extraordinary stories hidden within seemingly ordinary lives.
Here are a few of the stories currently taking shape.
Please note - The following manuscripts are currently in development. For occasional updates, follow along via my Journal.
I'm Sorry, I Love You
Contemporary Fiction | Work in Progress
When a bitter family rift tears a young girl away from the grandmother she adores, the consequences of one devastating decision follow her into adulthood.
Spanning more than two decades, I'm Sorry, I Love You explores the complexities of family relationships, the lasting effects of estrangement and the extraordinary lengths we go to in search of love, acceptance and forgiveness.
A deeply emotional story about the things we leave unsaid, the memories that refuse to fade and the possibility of finding peace
with the past.
Dare to Deliver
Memoir | Work in Progress
Every birth has a story. Not every story gets told.
Birth is often described as one of life's most extraordinary experiences. But behind the familiar narratives of joy and new beginnings lie stories that are far more complex.
Inside Birth explores the deeply personal experiences surrounding childbirth, the expectations placed upon women and the lasting impact of moments that can change lives forever.
An intimate and thought-provoking exploration of vulnerability, resilience and the importance of being heard.
Lara
Psychological Crime Fiction | Work in Progress
Some places are better left undiscovered.
Deep in the Australian outback, secluded campsites, breathtaking landscapes and endless horizons offer the promise of escape. But isolation has a way of revealing things we'd rather remain hidden.
Set against the haunting beauty of rural Queensland, Lara is a psychological crime novel exploring secrets, deception and the darker side of human nature.
Sometimes...the greatest danger isn't the wilderness around us.
* Lara is the first book in a proposed three-part series.
Watch this space!
Three manuscripts might be keeping me busy, but there's no shortage of other stories waiting to be told! From new ideas to short stories, there's plenty more to come.
Writing these books has been one of the most personal, challenging and rewarding experiences of my life. There have been moments of excitement, frustration and self-doubt, alongside those wonderful breakthroughs that remind me why I started.
Through my Journal, I'll be sharing the ups and downs of my journey towards publication, the lessons I'm learning and the little victories along the way.
I'd love for you to join me!
