A screenwriter and author, she writes sci-fi which sometimes has horror elements and supernatural themes.

Currently, she is completing a PhD in Sf Screenwriting at Swansea University in the birthplace of story and the poetic in mythical, magical Wales.
“The full moon cast an eerie glow through thick ancient dark woods. In the shadows around a tree, the serial killer ran his knife lovingly over Chelsea’s trussed dead body. She lay, as if posed for a photo, wearing only bloody pink underpants.”
“Leila dreamt that her Soul was on fire. It was not a nightmare. Shannon was in the dream. Shannon was telling her to wake up. She woke up, burning as if she had a fever, nearly soaking wet with sweat. Kevin was asleep beside her.”
“I hope that I capture something in my work that is about the elusive, the magical and powerful and the transformative. The writing in itself is transformative for me.”
“The writing in itself is transformative for me.”
“I have found that a writer is formed not so much by their experiences but by the way in which they view and capture those experiences.”
“Writing isn't difficult. Writing well is difficult. What is most difficult is being with the interior experience that manifests as resistance to writing.”
“I write because I am a writer, not because I want to get anything out of it.”
“This is your karma. You do not understand now, but you will understand later. The source of pain is within your own larger expression of being.”
“She held herself until the sobs of the child inside subsided entirely. I love you, she told herself. It will all be okay.”
“Be in your own skin, as an act of self-loving.”
