I'm a writer, activist and artist. My pronouns are she/her.

My first book, THE PUMA YEARS, will be published 1st June 2021 by Little A. Proceeds from this book are going to support Comunidad Inti Wara Yassi (CIWY) in Bolivia: https://www.intiwarayassi.org

In 2007 I went to Bolivia, and started volunteering with CIWY, an NGO that manages three wildlife sanctuaries and gives homes to animals rescued from illegal wildlife trafficking. It was this work, the communities and the stories that I found there, that, in 2012, inspired me to start the UK-based charity ONCA: https://onca.org.uk Panthera onca means jaguar.

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 :))

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)

“I loved being inside that cage. It felt like a secret, like hiding in a cupboard when you were a child and tapping the back to see if you could reach Narnia.”
