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.

A Fortnight in Finland: From Snowy Sights to the Northern LightsTop Story - May 2023
Space and time are intimately entwined. I read up on this — on spacetime — a lot during my time in the snow-dipped space of Yllas, northern Finland. Two of the four books I took with me for my 14-day stay; Space, 10 Things You Should Know and Time, 10 Things You Should Know enlightened me on exactly how one influences — exists because of — the other.

The Paraparanormal
Derek Dun. That's his name. Not Dracula. Not Lestat. In human form - sometimes a squirrel (he can't turn into a bat). Dangerous in the daytime - proper sun worshiper is our Del.

Snippets from 36 Days of Daily Journaling That Might Just Make You Smile
I’ve been journaling since humanity learned to bind pages into a book. I’ve filled pages upon pages with Twilight quotes, how many hairbands I can fit onto my head at any one time and a short, if not sharp, 13-year-old commentary on my mom’s new boyfriend (he’s not so new, 14 years on).

My OCD Stole My Writing From MeTop Story - April 2023
I am a writer. More so than I am a human. My mom didn’t give birth to me, she just popped round to the local library and printed me out. It was never a point of me discovering, or becoming, or wanting to be a writer, the same way I never chose to be 5 foot 6, or allergic to penicillin, or a human being. I just am. That’s me. And I wouldn’t change it for this world or any other.

Dear Uncle A. There’s a cat on my lap. And I’m crying, Completely unrelated, but both occurring now and here. The cat I know. I love. She’s slowing the tears.

Boiling Blood
Boiler broke. Brrrr. “Bloody bastard!” Bathtime? Banished. Balmy bedtime? Bequeathed. Blankets became bountiful. Beep beep beep. “Boiler bloke?” Beckoned.

A Womb with a View
Who designed us women to bleed, To piss away the remnants of a seed? And the audacity to describe the sensation! With a title as absurd as MENstruation!

Forbidden Fruit Wholesalers Through Time™
It takes 17 seconds for me to walk 156,000 years into the past. “Eat the apple,” I hiss at the completely ill-informed faces of two rather naked people. It’s meant politely, of course, though nothing sounds quite as quaint when delivered from the tongue of a poisoned mouth.

The Unbelievable Sameness of Being
We never quite learn, Past, present and future, we Struggle to discern.

An Existential Fourtress
Waves, burns, blows and breathes, Rises, roars, rests and retrieves, Stands, flows, fills and thieves.

A Lot of Lunatics and a Lot of Rope
“Wear it like a belt, not wrapped around your head. Or else you’re gonna strangle your self.” I rolled my eyes and said.
