Neon Roses, my debut novel, was published by John Murray Press on 25th May 2023, and I am represented by literary agent Imogen Morrell at Greene & Heaton.
I'm a Swansea girl, living in Cardiff. In 2012 I was a founder member of Songbirds Choir for LGBT+ women & non-binary people.
In 2020 I won a New Writer's Bursary from Literature Wales.
The Ghostly Cruiser, a short story about rural Wales, queer heritage and the hanky code, was featured in Cipher's anthology, Unreal Sex.
My first short play, about swimming and queer joy, was featured in Out-Rage-Us at the Sherman, part of Cardiff's Queer Fringe Festival 2022.
I love lino printing, swimming, going out-out, and tending my houseplants.
Thank you to R. E. Dixon for my headshots. You can see more of her work here.
