Welcome


I am a procrastinator, putterer, and escapist. My idea of perfection is a good book, a cup of tea, and a comfy armchair (not particularly original, I know, but I’m just too comfortable to be bothered with a little thing like that). When I’m not diving into word-worlds, I also enjoy knitting and crocheting, or plucking away at my ukulele.

A favourite expression of mine (among many!) is: “Jack of all trades, master of none — but that is still better than master of one.” For a better idea of what I’m about with all my productive procrastination, please check out my blog posts, publications, and shorts (microfiction) in the menu above 🙂

Author update!

I have just released my second book, “The Separation of Briin”, a prequel novella to my debut epic fantasy novel, The Assays of Ata (for more information on the latter, scroll further down, or alternatively, navigate to my ‘Publications’ page). “The Separation of Briin” is currently available on Amazon, and will shortly be available on other platforms as well.

Though it’s set in the same world as The Assays of Ata and is related to it in many ways, events in this novella take place almost six hundred years prior to those in Assays, and the novella can therefore be read as a standalone. If you’d like a sneak peek at the prologue and first chapter of the novella, check it out below (click on the link if on your phone), as well as a short trailer.

For those of you who don’t know, my first novel was published on 1 March 2024 (YAY!) and I would love to share my book with as many readers as possible. Here’s a quick overview of what it’s about:

Finally, just a friendly reminder that reader reviews are the bread and butter of indie authors, so please be sure to leave a review on Amazon or Goodreads (or any other social media platform you frequent). Here are where you can find me:
