BIOGRAPHY
I'm an Award-Winning Australian Speculative Fiction Author with 19 short stories published in 15 anthologies, web journals & ezines and began writing full-time in 2005.

I studied Creative Writing & Writing for Publication at the Hunter WEA College, 2005-06 & joined the Hunter Writers' Centre in 2007. In 2009, Brian Joyce (former HWC director) asked me to facilitate the Women@theLockup writers' group & encouraged me to apply for a LitLink Mentorship, which I received in 2010, with Jenny Blackford, a multi-award-winning speculative-fiction author/poet.

I won NaNoWriMo in 2013 with a paranormal rom-com title ‘Death: It’s Complicated’ and rattled off several other novels, still unpublished but for an excerpt from, ‘Death: It’s Complicated’ was turned into a Beatles themed vampire rom-com short story for the anthology, Novascapes Vol 2, titled ‘Resurrection Shuffle: It’s Been a Hard Day’s Bite’.

My debut novel, ‘Netherrealm’, Book 1, Heed the Darkness, published in 2018 won a Silver 'Recommended Read' Badge in the 2019 Author Shout Ready Reader Awards, an Honourable Mention and a silver 5-Star Review badge in the Readers' Favorite 2020 International Book Awards, and Quarterfinalist 2022 ScreenCraft Cinematic Competition. It's available as an e-book and paperback.

I’m now plodding away on the next two books in the Netherrealm trilogy, Plunge into Darkness & Castdown Darkness, a cross-genre mix of Historical/Contemporary/Sci-fi/Paranormal series and polishing another paranormal-rom-com.

I live in Newcastle, NSW, AUS, with my three sons Daniel, Ryan & Caiden. I'm also a belly dancer & perform with Silk Caravan Bellydance.
