A very long time ago, I was a kid who loved to read. And write! My sis and I spent our school holidays and weekends and spare time writing stories and sharing them with each other (which might explain why I don’t know how to ride a bike...).

 

Then I got bigger (in age, not so much in height) and scored my first writing job in magazines. Over the years, I wrote articles and edited for DOLLY, Smash Hits, Girlfriend, Women’s Fitness, Cosmopolitan, and wrote some travel content for Jetstar, Kia Ora and Escape. 

 

But my one true love is books. And in 2020, THE DREAM came to fruition when I won the HarperCollins Matilda Prize and my debut Young Adult novel, Half My Luck, was released into the world. 

​

I switched it up and wrote a Middle-Grade novel next, The Sideways Orbit of Evie Hart, which was shortlisted for 2024 CBCA Book of the Year – Younger Readers.
 

I’m currently working on a 2-book Middle-Grade series due for release in 2026. Can’t wait to share more!
