Stories that stay with you
I am a novelist and essayist writing quietly about memory, place and the ordinary hours that make a life.
A note from the author
Stories are how I make sense of the world. I write to hold on to moments that would otherwise slip away — and to invite readers to find themselves inside them.
Featured Book
The Last Summer
The Last Summer is a story of one unhurried season, of family and of the places that quietly shape us. A debut that lingers long after the final page.
Excerpt
“The summer ended the way every summer does — gently, and all at once.”

I have written for more than a decade — first for magazines, then for the long form. My work has been recognised with several awards and translated into twelve languages.
I teach workshops on scene construction and emotional resonance, and I answer every reader letter myself.
