I write stories about the beautiful, dark, and volatile relationships between people, places and things. It keeps me sane. It helps me make sense of the world. It gives me a sense of belonging. 

I’m an anxious over thinker. I’m also a Gemini with Pisces rising.

Give me something to learn and I will thrive. There’s a corner in my brain stacked high with facts that I’m never going to use in life but it’s useful for quiz nights and trivia board games. I’m also obsessed with Apple products.

Words. Punctuation. Grammar — Drool worthy.

I read a lot. The classics, horror, drama, dystopian, cyberpunk, dark comedy. And then there’s Sylvia Plath...be still my aching heart. There’s nothing more comforting than curling up with a good book, a cup of Earl Grey tea and a packet of Smith’s Salt & Vinegar chips.

I’m a music junkie. It’s one of the few things that calms me. In a room full of people, I hear the music above anything else.

Vinyl is perfection. The feel of the record in my hands; the way it spins on my turntable; the exquisite sound playing through my speakers. Bliss.

I love coffee. Good coffee that is. I’m probably a coffee snob.

Horror movies are my life source. They’re exhilarating and calming at the same time. I remember watching The Evil Dead when I was ten. That fight or flight reaction that comes from being terrified is my core. My favourite movies are The Shining, The Exorcist and Rosemary’s Baby. I often quote lines out of horror movies. I find it fun, everyone else thinks it’s creepy.

My family are my world – amazing partner and step son. I also have a very fluffy food obsessed cat, Mr Pickles.
