About
I have been writing all my life across many mediums and for many purposes. I've written for newspapers - features, news, legal stories - and I've written for government, niche magazines, websites and for social media campaigns.
I have written for private enterprise and managed many public relations and communications campaigns over the years. For the past 25 years, I've put words together in various ways, for a diverse audience and a variety of reasons, through my professional work and now as an author.
My debut novel Shadowscape – The Stevie Vegas Chronicles was published on 1 October 2012 and I’ve republished its second edition as an Indie author. It’s a story about a young skateboarder who has ESP and an amazing Kickflip (skateboard trick for those who don’t know).
My second novel Dawn of the Shadowcasters is Book 2 in the Stevie Vegas Chronicles series and it’s in production with Lodestone Books and will be available on 30 May 2014.
I’ve also authored my first adult fiction book, Belonging Places, which is in production. It’s a book for women, and about women.

Story Behind The Book
A sense of belonging is important to be happy. When you don't belong in a job, a town, a group of friends or even in a relationship, it takes courage to let go. It takes courage to make those decisions that will lead you forward towards your belonging place.
I wanted to write a book for women [and men] based on my experience, and the experiences of other women in my life - so readers could relate to the stories and say: "yes I've had that experience too. I'm not alone".
Belonging is about questing. Coming home to one's self is the stuff that dreams...and reality, is made of. I hope you enjoy my book, Belonging Places.
