About
I'm an award-winning monster romance author based in Perth, Australia. My work is fast-paced, spicy and full of adventure.
When I was growing up, every day after school my sister and I waited at the local library for my mum to finish work and pick us up. My love of reading grew from there. I read everything, but my favourites were fantasy adventures with a side-serve of romance. Over time, the side serve got bigger.
In 2022 I dropped to part-time in my government marketing job to do an emerging writer's program. I won the Romance Writers' of Australia's Spicy Bites award in 2023, and published 50 Shades of Orc that same year. Since then, a huge part of my headspace has been devoted to the stories in my head.
