Books

I write emotional realism and satirical fiction in multiple formats — novel, novella, short story, poem, play and news parody.

My books are published in paperback by Eve Street Press.

You can walk into your local bookshop and order copies of these books or buy them online here through distributor Ingram:

Five Roads Out of Here

A novel about young people finishing high school — but not a YA high school novel. Explores grief and loss, change, learning to drive and hyper-competitive tertiary scores.  Set against the backdrop of regional Australia in the late 1990s.

Catapults and Other Escapes
A journal set during school holidays, this is a story about parenting, exhaustion, grief, teaching, neurodivergence and — perhaps more than anything — writing. Not “writers”, but writing — as something highly meaningful and grounding.

How to Forget Someone
A collection of dreamy and reflective first-person narratives that I originally wrote in late 2010 and emailed to friends for Christmas. After recovering this from a drawer and reworking it, this appeared as a paperback for the first time in 2026.
