I’m a writer and traveller with a lengthy bucket list and cheeky sense of humour. When I travel, I love exploring new places, outdoor adventures, and eating and drinking like a local. I’m also an avid reader, an amateur film buff, a wine lover, and a coffee snob, though my writing is mostly fuelled by copious mugs of builder’s tea.
As an author, I write the heart – what makes it sing, what breaks it, and how it mends – and many of my travel adventures have found homes in my novels.
My first novel, One Summer in Santorini, a romantic comedy set in Greece and inspired by my real-life love story, was published in June 2019 by One More Chapter (HarperCollins). This sparked the 5-book Holiday Romance series with That Night in Paris and A Sunset in Sydney (2020), and A Sunrise Over Bali and A Wedding in Tuscany (2022).
The Christmas Romance series, set in Oxfordshire, Colorado, Melbourne and Hawaii includes The Christmas Swap (2020) and The Christmas Trip (2022).
The Dating Game is my stand-alone romcom is set in the fun and fascinating world of Reality TV. I’ve also co-authored a sexy crime thriller with Author Fiona Leitch (currently out on submission) and we’ve already outlined the follow-up.
In late 2022, I signed with Boldwood for the 5-book Ever After Agency series, set in a bespoke matchmaking agency in London, with a brilliant cast of characters and locations around the world. Book 1 is out September 2023. And I am also writing contemporary dramedy set in Australia called Tilly Finnegan, Begin Again.
I am represented by Lina Langlee of The North Literary Agency.
I am a member of the Romance Novelists Association (UK) and Romance Writers of Australia.
