Welcome! - it's all about the books!

See below for my latest release, sign up to my newsletter, and see a list of all my published books. Click on the 'details' button to check out blurbs and how to purchase. I have done my best to make the site accessible by increasing colour contrasts and adding alternative text to all my images. I hope it is enough so that I don't exclude anyone.

My books are full of magic and adventure. There is usually a female protagonist who has magic and is stronger than she thinks. Over the course of her adventure she will make friends, learn who she truly is and maybe enjoy a bit of clean romance too. My books are all about friendship, teamwork, and personal growth - as well as plenty of magic, evil villains and dangerous quests! There will always be a happy/satisfactory ending.

So dive in because magic and adventure await...
