I live in sunny (and humid) North Queensland, Australia, with my furry editorial assistants, Ollie, and Angus (Shih tzu's) and their mortal feline enemies. When I'm not wrangling furry drama, I'm at work in the healthcare field. In my downtime, I try to spend quality time with my family, chill out watching Netflix, or reading something from my TBR list.

I also have another novel currently in progress, titled, 'The Name You Gave Me', which I am really excited about writing. I hope to publish that novel soon after my debut, if all things fall into place. My stories revolve around haunted homes (and people), secrets, betrayals, and the people we trust most - until we don't.
