I’m super excited to share. I have finished my debut novel at the beginning of the year which is now shortlisted for the Leapfrog Global Fiction Prize. It’s so rewarding to be recognized for a work I spent most of the past five years writing.
Thanks to Leapfrog Press for the trust and appreciation.

With the UK and US authorities attacking our rights, now is the time to support #trans and #nonbinary creators.

We need your support.

I'm a nonbinary author with two books out:

📘PROUD PINK SKY
📙THE GIDDY DEATH

Both are about the trans/enby experience. Both focus on hope.

… a tickle… She wouldn’t let a tickle steal her hard-won sleep. Siesta time belonged to her. Saoirse had waited all morning, made it through Fit For Survival, entomophagy, and life skills classes. She had earned her time to doze off on the scratchy school carpet.

I just finished writing my first novel,The Fivers, a climate fiction novel for young adults. When Covid started und I had to shut down my business (team building events for creativity & Innovation) I started writing. Five years to learn the craft while navigating unknown territory.
