Greetings to the writers, readers, academics, flâneurs, and general intelligentsia! And nice to meet you, new followers. I'm a novelist. My most recent book, ORPHIA AND EURYDICIUS (2024, HarperCollins) is a gender-swapped retelling of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth. Plenty of new things in the works!
Given the news from the USA, please donate to help LGBTQI+ young people if you can. 💙

I'm running a book auction to raise money for The Trevor Project, giving away a limited edition, sprayed edges copy of ORPHIA AND EURYDICIUS and 2 of the regular paperback. See my IG for details (same username).

Honestly, Harry Hartog's in Penrith is just stunning and we all need bookstores in our lives like this.

Kicking my book recommendations off with a new queer novel I just read an ARC of, THE HYMN TO DIONYSUS by Natasha Pulley. It's a rich psychological drama. The narrator's voice brings humour and earthiness into a mythic story, and the two leading men are fascinating: soldier and witch, entangled.

I cannot believe I finally get to announce this. An unhinged dream, so many years and monologues in the making. I'm elate to announce my debut novel VILE LADY VILLAINS, a horromantasy about Klytemnestra and Lady Macbeth, will be published with Penguin Michael Joseph in 2026.

ONE FOR ALL, my debut novel, is a gender-bent reimagining of The Three Musketeers with a main character with POTS!

*Inspired by my experience as a competitive fencer with POTS.
