Meet the Author I'm a novel writer based in Oamaru, which is a quirky small town in New Zealand. I like to write all sorts of genres, but I prefer horror and fantasy. I write both young adult and adult fiction.
I love all things magical and mysterious, from the Loch Ness Monster to fairies. If something goes bump in the night, I feel compelled to find out what that something is, and probably write about it.
