I grew up in South Africa and, after a decade in London, moved to Connecticut, where I completed my MFA at Fairfield University. My first published novel, THE LIGHT REMAINS, received an honorary mention in the Fairfield Book Prize and will be published in 2025. My short fiction won the Anthony Grooms Prize and appeared in The Connecticut Literary Anthology, 2024. My work has been a Narrative Story of the Week, a contest finalist in American Short Fiction‘s Halifax Ranch Fiction Prize, and shortlisted for the Bridport Prize. My first children's picture book, ARE YOU AN ALIEN?, was illustrated by my mother and published in the UK. I am represented by Elizabeth Rudnick at the Gillian MacKenzie Literary Agency.

As much as I love writing, I love working with other writers. I know how challenging it is to bring a book into being, and I believe that writing is a skill that can be taught. My coaching focuses on guiding, teaching, and supporting writers so they not only finish their books but grow in confidence and ability.
