The Heart Behind the Ink
Before I ever called myself an author, I was just a girl with too many feelings, too many fictional crushes, and a Wattpad account.
My love for stories started young, somewhere between staying up far too late reading “just one more chapter” and deciding, at thirteen, that I absolutely had something to say about Draco Malfoy. Like many writers, fanfiction was my first playground. It was where I learned how much I loved building tension, shaping characters, writing messy emotions, and creating those little moments that make your stomach flip. I didn’t know it then, but those dramatic teenage chapters were the beginning of something much bigger.
Outside of writing, my life took a very different but equally human path. I studied biomedical science and now work for the NHS, so healthcare has always been a huge part of who I am. I’ve spent years learning about the body, illness, care, pressure, people, and resilience. Being a healthcare girlie means I’ve seen how fragile and complicated life can be, and I think that naturally finds its way into my writing. I’m drawn to characters who are flawed, stubborn, wounded, funny, soft in unexpected places, and trying their best even when they don’t quite know how.
Reading has always been my escape, but writing became something more personal. It became the place where all the emotions had somewhere to go. The heartbreak, the chaos, the banter, the longing, the “oh no, I definitely still love him” moments. Over time, what started as fanfiction turned into original characters, fictional towns, messy found families, cowboys, hockey players, coastal romances, and love stories that refused to leave me alone until I wrote them down.
My dream didn’t arrive fully formed. It crept in quietly, chapter by chapter, until one day I realised I didn’t just want to read stories that made me feel everything.
I wanted to write them.
And now, that’s what I do. I write contemporary romance for readers who love tension, emotional depth, sharp banter, found family, flawed characters, and love stories that feel a little wild, a little painful, and entirely worth it. My books are for the girls who grew up reading under the covers, falling for fictional men, and believing that stories could make the real world feel a little less lonely.
What Shaped Me
I’m also very much a music-and-sports girlie at heart. When I’m not writing emotionally chaotic fictional people into romantic disaster, you’ll usually find me with a playlist on, a match or game in the background, or mentally assigning Taylor Swift songs to characters who absolutely did not ask to be psychoanalysed that deeply.
As a lifelong Swiftie, music has always shaped the way I write. I love the storytelling, the emotional gut-punch lyrics, the tiny details that make a moment feel huge. That same energy finds its way into my books: the yearning, the heartbreak, the soft little confessions, the bridges that make you stare at a wall for ten minutes after. Sports bring in the other half of my inspiration: tension, loyalty, found family, rivalries, comebacks, and those dramatic make-or-break moments that feel tailor-made for romance.
