Bio

I’m a writer, a storyteller, a lunatic. I imagine in a parallel universe I might be a caricaturist or a botanist or somewhere asleep on the moon — but here, I am a writer, turning moments into multiverses and making homes out of them.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3: The First F-word in a Marvel Movie (And What it Probably Means)
A franchise with a large audience of children (not an audience of large children) built on the very foundations of being just, being respectful and being moral-driven leaders. Philosophies these superheroes swear by.

Me and My Boyfriend Wrote a Story On The Spot — And Halfway Through I Cried
It was 18:17 on July 29th. We stood, me and Ben, in my mom’s kitchen, rigatoni pasta boiling beside us. And I was crying because I couldn’t poison the water supply.

How to Say “No” Without Saying No
A verbal slap. An emotional dropkick. An intangible war zone. Saying no is a cataclysmic concept. It stings, it scars and it’s friggin’ scary, right? And yet, we’re all faced with the need, the desperation, to say it.

Heaven Knows
They say “Heaven knows,” But Hell knows better. She’s feisty. Head strong. A real go-getter. Short-tempered, granted,

The Now and Now Again
It’s now and it’s now, And it’s now again. It’s never tomorrow, Or then or when. It’s today, it’s here, It’s never not now.

The Worst Cup of Tea in the World
Today, the moon sees a little girl, clutching a hot cup of tea. Standing at the foot of the stairs, she peers up as far as she can see.

Obsessive Obsessive Obsessive Obsessive x4
My nan died. Lots of people’s nans do that. All nans. All people, even. They slip gently away, leaving chaos behind - death is such a heathen.

My B+ Routine: How I Make Each Day First Class
Be positive. Isn't that what we're all trying our darndest to do? Be a little more positive, smile a little more, speak kindly, think confidently, inject a little more joy into this world?

Stop What You’re Doing and Look Up
Psst. Psst. Hey you. Yeah, you. Look up for a moment. What do you see? Possibly a wall of some kind, maybe a window, maybe the entire expanse of a sunburned sky tucking the Earth into bed for the night. But look past that. Do you see it? Do you see it? Do you feel it?

The Nonsensical Nature of 5
Sound, asleep, breathes low, breathes deep, A rumbling breaks through his chest. Gentle sighs morph into gargled snores,

The Tile Universe
There are 214 tiles lining the shower wall. Most are uniform in shape, ubiquitous in intent and, having stood here in the temperate flow for 12 minutes, I’ve discovered that they’re individual universes. One tile stands out to me in particular. A silhouette can be made out in the blackened edges of the stonework. Looks like a cat peering out of a square window and the more I stare, the more I realise - it is. I’m bathing beside a multiverse, watched by feline eyes and oh! That reminds me. I squat slightly, bringing a razor to my own fur.

What if I Don’t Have Any Value to Provide?
It’s the Age of Information. The Era of Regurgitation. The Time of Accelerated Communication. And I am riddled with frustration.
