Hello, welcome to my website. I am the author of Sargasso. I have a Master's Degree in Australian Gothic Literature, and have always been drawn to tortured, complex and intense male characters, my all-time favourite being Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights. I write dark, mysterious and compelling stories and I write because it makes me happy. I live in Brisbane, Australia, with my family and most weekends you can find me at the sea.

Sargasso is published

by Harlequin Australia, and is a mesmerising Australian novel that echoes the great gothic stories of love and hate: "Wuthering Heights", "Jane Eyre", and especially Daphne du Maurier's "Rebecca".

​

As a child, Hannah lives at Sargasso, the isolated beachside home designed by her father, a brilliant architect. A lonely, introverted child, she wants no company but that of Flint, the enigmatic boy who no one else ever sees ... and who promises he will always look after her.

​

Hannah's idyllic childhood at Sargasso ends in tragedy, but now as an adult she returns to renovate the house, which she's inherited from her grandmother. Her boyfriend Tristan visits regularly but then, amid a series of uncanny incidents, Flint reappears ... and as his possessiveness grows, Hannah's hold on the world begins to lapse. What is real and what is imaginary, or from beyond the grave?
