I write fiction with strong Indigenous characters, themes, and settings.

After a tragic bushfire, an entire school comes under suspicion. But 17-year-old Andrew isn’t worried about getting caught. In fact, he wants to be discovered because after the last fire, his dad came back…
Andrew's family is falling apart. His dad, Pete, struggles to hold work in an economy where the Blakfulla is always the first to go. His mum, Linda, stays in bed all day, unable to function as she holds onto a family secret.
A book about the effects of intergenerational trauma that asks why good kids do bad things.
Love Unleashed
Penguin Random House | August 6, 2024
Some passions just can't be tamed ... Brynn thought she'd be chasing her dreams, not chasing dogs, when she set off on the adventure of a lifetime.
When Bigambul woman Brynn Wallace leaves Brisbane to pursue her dreams in the Big Apple, she imagines herself landing a fabulous career at a New York City publishing house and acquiring shelves of Louboutin shoes, not working in a doggy daycare with a boss from hell and a wardrobe from her nightmares.
Yet good things are always possible in New York, especially when you believe in them hard enough. And Brynn has a collection of NYC Missions to set her on her way- challenges from her mother, whose death she is still getting over, to help Brynn rejoice in the city that never sleeps.
Brynn soon finds herself making meaningful friendships, engaging in flirty flings, and meeting the gorgeous Sienna, also known as dancer Scarlett Belle. And when she stumbles on a handsome, single dog-dad who just happens to be a literary editor, she decides that if she can convince him she's more than just a dog-sitter, her dreams will finally come true. But Sienna has other plans, and as Brynn's NY ride begins to stall, the city shows her just how full of surprises it is.
