From a stranger offering life-changing advice in a cafe (you know who you are and I'll be forever in your debt) and senior colleagues that have guided me through the seemingly impossible, to the advisors that I met as clients and left as peers; my life would have been all the poorer for not have received mentorship.
I want to pay their kindness and generosity of spirit and feedback forward.

Writing
Storytelling is one of the most beautiful and powerful manifestations of the human race's imagination.
For someone to allow you to suspend their disbelief, just for a moment, is a both a privilege and wonder. It implies engagement, openness, willingness and, most of all, trust.
As a result, the potential for transformation in these moments of suspense is extraordinary and, I believe, should be treasured and protected for children and adults alike.
As a writer, both in the realm of business and children's fiction, my aim to always create and write about worlds and experiences that are not only full of wonder and interest, but that are also believable and useful in our every day.
I write stories to encourage audiences to play with, and explore, new possibilities. And if they can and want to, to then run with them in the way only they know how.

The Stone Keepers is a children’s fantasy epic that follows Emmie Forrester, a prolific pickpocket who steals something she shouldn’t have. Her adventures lead her discover that her memories are more than they seem... and even hold the power to unlock bridges to new worlds completely unlike her own.
The Stone Keepers is a project I've been working on for the last four years around my full time commitments.
World building for this book is one of my life's biggest joys and I thoroughly look forward to the day I can share it with you.
