Bio

If you like quirky, funny, spooky or downright terrifying Black-Mirror-style stories then you've come to the right place.

 

A recent story - Spring Clean at the Pool - was one of five winners of the inaugural Radio New Zealand short story competition. It was produced for radio and broadcast in 2021 Listen to it here

​

In the last two years 2 short stories and 3 of my flash fiction pieces were long- and shortlisted for the UK's  prestigious Bridport prize.  I have also been shortlisted for a sci-fi piece in a Writers of the Future contest and for other national competitions 

 

If you love flash fiction too then you could subscribe to have an original, entertaining piece of flash fiction to read on your coffee break delivered to your inbox once a week. Would you be keen on that? See Flash for Cash

​

I also write novels also. I have written a mystery thriller novel and am halfway through a supernatural thriller (see Work). I have a collection of comical memoirs. I have yet to look for an agent or publisher, but watch this space.

After a long stint living in Europe, I came back to live on Stewart Island in the deep south of New Zealand for twenty years and now, along with my husband and teen, call Dunedin home.
