First off, it's been a while! I've been absent from my blog to focus on other aspects of my personal life, including some fun new diagnoses (sarcasm) alongside starting a full time job. I am currently working on 2 new books though! Anyway, this post isn't about that. This post is something I've been thinkingContinue reading "It’s okay to write short books"
My First Blog Post
Welcome to my page! Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken. — Oscar Wilde. This is my first blog post on my new official website! I used to have an old website for my writing career, however I decided it would be best to combine my writing and my photography into one page to makeContinue reading "My First Blog Post"
Writing was easier as a teenager
Well hello everyone, it has been a hot minute since I last posted here. I can make many excuses, such as planning my wedding (I am now married!), starting another full time job 6 months ago, having many chronic illness flare ups, lots of doctors appointments, etc... but ultimately life just got in the wayContinue reading "Writing was easier as a teenager"
HYSTERIA Book Launch- 1st December
Hi everyone! Long time no see. This pandemic has hit me hard, and writer's block came on swiftly with little to no reprise. So it took me much, much longer to finish this book than any of my previous works. I even started writing a completely separate book halfway through, then realised how bad itContinue reading "HYSTERIA Book Launch- 1st December"
Autism: The Uncertain world of the Coronavirus

Balancing Illness and Art
I'm not necessarily obviously ill. I don't have a physical disability that you can see. I have an eating disorder however, alongside an autism diagnosis, anxiety, depression and migraines. As much as I try to keep these things at bay, they inevitably end up affecting the way I work. It's an art in itself, really,Continue reading "Balancing Illness and Art"

So, you've just written your first or second book, and you're not sure where to go from there. A year ago I was in those shoes.

2019 Overview
So, 2019 was my first official year as an author. I published my first book in November 2018, and the other 4 throughout 2019. It's also the year I really nailed down my art style and started experimenting more in photography. Today though, I'm going to have a little look at what I did inContinue reading "2019 Overview"
Writing a book about eating disorders
For those of you who don't know already, my next book is a story about a teenage boy suffering with anorexia. It definitely won't be a typical commercial novel. It's not a huge, amazing high concept story that will attract a huge, guaranteed audience. Unfortunately that's a risk with all of my novels. I'm notContinue reading "Writing a book about eating disorders"
