Well, hello there

Welcome to my little pocket of the world wide web! Now, raise your hand if you're a hoarder of books or dreamed of taking a break from the chaos of life by slipping into the pages of another world or get lost in many a wonderful daydream. If your hand is up, you are not alone and we may very well be kindred spirits! 

​

I have been writing for as long as I can remember. Stories, songs, plays that I made my siblings perform. Oh, and there was that brief stint where I thought I was a poet (spoiler: I wasn't). But I was a storyteller and I've spent years writing many a tale. More often than not those tales were filled with angst and heartbreak and secrets and even more angst. And then we entered the year 2020. With the world in chaos I no longer wanted to escape into angst, I wanted to escape from it.

​

Enter romantic comedies.

 

I fell in love with the lightness of these books. The hope and sweetness and humour that leapt from the pages and I knew that I wanted to contribute to that. So, I switched gears and now write the books that kept me afloat through a turbulent few years.

A FEW TIDBITS

Champagne wavy heart line
  • I'm a crier. Anything will set me off. A book, a movie, a commercial, spotting an elderly couple holding hands, a cute animal. Realising I'm out of chocolate. ANYTHING. 

​

  • I love musicals and would love to wake up one morning to find everyone breaking into song (kind of like that musical episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer minus the demon and people bursting into flames).

​​

  • Donuts are my weakness. And chocolate. Ice cream too. Ooh also cheesecake. Let's be real, any form of dessert. In fact, I am a firm believer that there is always room for dessert.

​

  • I detest summer with the passion of a thousand burning suns. Give me boots, slippers, layers and blankets on the couch over sunburn, sleepless nights and scorching seatbelts. 

​

  • I live in a city with a cafe on every corner and arguably the best coffee known to humankind but I still love me a cup of Nescafe Blend 43.

​

  • Some of my comfort shows are: The Big Bang Theory, Superstore, Madam Secretary, Parenthood, The Newsroom, Vanderpump Rules.

​

  • My favourite book of all time is 'On the Jellicoe Road' by Melina Marchetta.
