Welcome.
I write fiction that lives between the gothic and the mythic—where legacies rot, gods rage, and power is always unclean. My stories are full of haunted places, tangled loyalties, and women whose heartbreaks transcend time.
My first novel, Book of Autumns, is out now.

Current Work
Book of Autumns
Rose Mason stands at the edge of everything she’s ever wanted. A good job, an apartment in the city, a life of comfort and luxury. But when her stoic grandmother dies, she inherits the family home, and the memories bound in its rooms. It is a simple matter to sell the property, but there is something that calls her there for one last visit before she lets it go.
But the women of her family, however long departed are not willing to give her up so easily. A shared diary remains hidden in the house, and it waits for Rose’s hand to record her own history, whether heartbreak or the love they each, in their turn, had wanted.
Short Stories
Like so many writers, I love a short story - the study of plot and character, made compact - sometimes very compact - into the space of a thousand words.
These stories are dark, or sad - or both. Women’s stories - though not the soft fairy tales I learned as a young girl. ‘Moist’ is a story of innocence stolen - take care with reading it, though it is not graphic, it is clear - and supernatural feminine rage and vengeance. ‘Young Man’s Azure’ tells the story of a milestone that marks the end of childhood, changing both mother and child, and ‘Love Spell’ is what happens when love lives past death - a dance remembered, repeated, year after year.
Coming Soon
City of Fountains
A city-state tangled in politics and ritual, ripe with apostasy and revolution. When the gods sing in human voices, who is speaking?
Winter Roses
A dark fairy tale about twin sisters—one stolen in a winter storm, the other fighting to bring her back. A story of love, power, and immortal bargains.
