Writer. Reader. Perpetual student. Nerd.

I started out writing fantasy. But, I like to write anything, honestly. These days, I mainly stick to YA and there's always at least a sprinkling of romance, if not a 'whoops, I dropped the whole packet in'. Almost all my books are set in my home state of South Australia, either in real or fictional places - gotta write what you know - with Netherfield being the only current exception.

Like most writers, I love to read. Although, time for reading at the moment is hard to come by. When I'm not too busy writing, I'm usually reading a number of authors. Some of my favourites are Rick Riordan, Jane Austen, Kate Forsyth, Cecilia Dart-Thornton, Kasie West, John Flanagan, Terry Pratchett, Isobelle Car ...more

Making all the hard choices this year, y'all.

Alas, I've burnt myself out. What was once working for me, no longer does. My life's changed - I have this small human I enjoy hanging out with (even if we read the same book what feels like a hundred times a day) and a PhD that also won't write or research itself - and I need to change how I work so I don't go completely insane. So, what does this mean for books? It's not like my release schedule
