About me
I write mysteries where understanding nature is the key to solving the case. I’m a soil scientist turned writer, based on the NSW coast.
My first book was nonfiction (all about soil).
Now I write middle-grade adventures and women’s fiction where the natural world isn’t just scenery, it’s central to the story. I like protagonists who notice things. My stories tend to start with something strange and small, like crop circles, footprints, or a trail that wasn’t there yesterday.
When I’m not writing, I’m at the beach with my daughter, fighting the weeds in the garden (they always win), or making mystery walks.
