Author of YA (OWL KING, NETTLE, BLACK HEAT and VIPER, VENOM & VULTURE) and young MG (BRONTE TEMPESTRA series). Probably daydreaming. Or napping.
Absolutely over the moon that NETTLE has been nominated for the Carnegie Medal for Writing! It's such a special award, I can't quite believe it! Huge thank you to @carnegiemedals.bsky.social and to my publisher @zephyrbooks.bsky.social 🥰 And congrats to all the other nominees! #Carnegies2026

The BLACK HEAT ebook is currently only 99p on kindle - what a bargain! This standalone YA fantasy follows three strangers during a time of war - a princess, a blacksmith and a midwife. As they each seek revenge, so their fates become entwined.
