I am an author based in Pōneke/Wellington, Aotearoa where I also operate a vegan donut stand, edit award-winning books and enjoy stand-up comedy, scuba diving and painting portraits of my friends. I established myself as a personal essayist but I'm currently writing fiction for my PhD in creative writing.

I am represented by Nadine Ruben-Nathan at High Spot Literary. My second book is currently in the market for a publisher. What I've Been Up To is a funny, sexy novel about an autistic office worker who made dating her special interest and found herself through polyamory.

You can purchase my debut book Specimen: Personal Essays in print or ebook format through my publisher, Te Herenga Waka University Press.
Note: when purchasing ebook, please buy via MeBooks rather than Amazon as there is an error that is in the process of being fixed in the Amazon file.
