Here's a little bit about me and why I write my books.
Born and raised in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia. A lover of the trees, the seas, and music. I’m a creative soul, and this is often expressed through writing, art, creative hands-on projects, and music.

‘An Unexpected Outcome' is my first published children’s book written and illustrated following my daughter's diagnosis of congenital hypothyroidism. This condition was picked up on the newborn screening test (heel prick test) shortly after her birth. A diagnosis can feel very scary, overwhelming, and even lonely, especially during those first few months. When I wrote this book my goal was simple- to create something that will help people going through what we went through.

Writing ‘An Unexpected Outcome’ woke something in me. I loved creating every part of that book, and knowing it might help people breathe a little easier made the whole experience more meaningful. Big things happen to people all the time, and this can be tricky for our hearts. Sometimes knowing how to talk about these things isn’t always easy, so I write these books hoping they create some space for gentle conversations about big things (for the grown ups as much as for the kids).

From my heart to yours, thank you for reading my books.
