Author of the fantasy duology, Flowerface, now available on Amazon, and Owlfeather, due out in January 2023. Also working on the Heirs of Samandahl series of novels and novellas.
The first book, Witch Queen, began as a retelling of Snow White, narrated by the (slightly) wicked stepmother, Grizel. My original intention was to continue with sequels based on other fairy tales, such as Rapunzel and Snow White and Rose Red, but the characters took over and outgrew their origins. The seeds are still there, but the world which evolved owes more to the novels of Dorothy Dunnett, Georgette Heyer and Mary Stewart than the Brothers Grimm.
Three short stories appeared in Independent Press anthologies in 2021, and a flash fiction fantasy story in SFS Stories in February 2022.
I live in south-east Queensland, Australia, with cats, Heidi, Lilah, Onyx and Ulysses, and a constant stream of foster cats and kittens.
