Meet the Author Who Ignites Dark Romance
I'm an award-winning indie romance author, born and raised in Hull, England, where I still live with my four incredible children, two mischievous dogs, and a cat who firmly believes she runs the household.
Life in my house is busy, loud, and wonderfully chaotic, but through it all, I've always had one constant: my love for stories.
Before becoming an author, I worked in mental health, and it was during those long night shifts that I began putting some of the stories in my head onto paper. I've always been fascinated by the darker, more complicated sides of human nature, particularly when it comes to love, obsession, power, and the lengths people will go to for someone they can't live without.
I don't write perfect characters or picture-perfect relationships. I write morally grey men, complicated women, questionable decisions, and stories that aren't afraid to make readers uncomfortable. If a book leaves you questioning your own moral compass, there's a good chance it's exactly the kind of story I love to tell.
My debut novel, The Fall of Summer, was published in January 2026, marking the beginning of The Reckoning Universe. What started as one story has since grown into something far bigger than I ever imagined.
With the release of The Ashes of Summer, The Reckoning Duet is now complete, but Rosefield, Montana, still has plenty of stories left to tell.
My upcoming MM festive novella, The Sins of Winter, introduces a different side of the universe, proving that even in a world filled with darkness, there's still room for love, second chances, and a little Christmas magic.
In 2026, I was incredibly honoured to receive Romance Book of the Year and Breakout Author of the Year at the Book Bonanza UK Awards. Seeing my stories resonate with readers, hearing them brought to life through audiobooks, and meeting the people who've supported my work has been more than I ever dared to hope for.
When I'm not writing, you'll usually find me surrounded by my family, walking the dogs, drinking far too much coffee, or getting lost in another book. Although, if I'm being completely truthful, there's a good chance I'm still thinking about fictional characters even then.
Whether you've been here since the beginning or you've only just discovered my books, thank you for being part of this journey.
Welcome to The Reckoning Universe. I'm so glad you're here. 🖤
