edit data

I write queer books, mostly about magic, and aspiring to fall in love with as many creatures as possible.

You can usually find me on an island in the Inner Hebrides, or in the Bolivian jungle. I hope one day to be lucky enough to be friends with a crow.

My pronouns are they/them.
I really like board games.
I'm represented by Rocking Chair Books. ...more

Thanks for your sharing your experience there. Take care.

She gets older every year of course, but it's always amazing to see her. It feels like a gift every time.

I was last there March 2020, but haven't been back due to the pandemic, although I'm hoping to go back as soon as I can. The staff out there are kind enough to give me Wayra updates though :)) If you're interested, I'll be chatting to Nena - CIWY's co-founder and president - at the online book launch for THE PUMA YEARS on the 3rd June. Here's the link for tickets - it's free - if you're available. It would be great to see you there... we'll be chatting about Wayra, and the other residents :))

Your book was a Kindle Unlimited recommendation. Wondering if you actually get paid and if that goes to CIWY? I bought a hardback copy yesterday and recommending all my friends to buy a copy as well! Thank you so much for sharing with the world your experience, you’re an inspiration!

That's wonderful, thank you so much for buying, and for recommending to your friends. In answer to your question, I'm donating 75% of my profits from the book to CIWY, and already the money from the book has helped to fund the building of a new quarantine building in one of the sanctuaries! So definitely, every little bit helps and a proportion of every copy sold gets sent to the sanctuaries. (less)
