Hi! So, if you haven’t read it already, I recently published a short story on Vocal: https://vocal.media/wander/the-rockstar-in-japan For those who have read my other books, here are my thoughts about how the story relates to them: While writing A Rockstar in Japan, I imagined that the main character was Holly, Jess’s friend from Australia in […]

My Own Personal Rockstar is on Amazon now!
I think this is the first time I’ve released a book in January, but I kind of cheated, because I started writing this one in 2019. I was on a flight from Brisbane to LA (going to the RWA conference in New York!) and decided I should make the most of all that downtime. I’d […]
Read moreMind Reader is now out!
Woo-hoo! I managed to squeeze in one more book for 2019. The Oceanic Dreams series took up a bit more time than I anticipated this year, so I’m very excited to release Mind Reader today! This story was inspired by my love for Netflix’s Lucifer and the movie TiMER. I hope you enjoy it! It’s […]
Read moreRWA Conference NY 2019!
Last week, I returned from New York where I attended my first RWA (US) conference, and it was amazing!

So after a few days sightseeing and catching up with fellow author Diane […]
Read moreA sneak peek of I Thought It Was You

Read more1997 is out!
Actually, it’s been out for a couple of weeks now, so apologies for being so slack. It’s been a ridiculously busy few months, but I managed to release MultiDate in the middle of the year, and now two books from the 90s Flashback Series in October / November. In 1997, we revisit Anna as she […]
Read more1996 is out!
The first book in my new 90s Flashback series is out! I was inspired to write 1996 after reading through all my old high school diaries and realising how different my memories were compared to what it was actually like. And I’ve always been a bit obsessed with time travel, so I thought of my […]
Read moreMultiDate is out!
