Once upon a time…

I picked up a pen and began to write. That was a long time ago, and now the writing tool of choice is a laptop covered in peeling stickers and a keyboard both pink and red. The keys clack and the dust gathers in hard to clean nooks. With a cup of too sweet coffee perched on the edge of a rickety table and a plethora of snacks to ease procrastination, it is the almost perfect den to create surreal worlds dipped in darkness, magic and folktale-like threads.

A string of music plays in a chunky headset, heavy drums for when the tension builds and haunting lilts when magic becomes unruly. Music is a very important aspect for when I create my tales of woe and romance, horror and humour. Far too much time is spent building playlist after playlist for every mood and genre, and I’ll be sure to share a unquie playlist with every new story and novel. Just so you can fall into the vibe that I did when I created them.

Living in the windy cliffscape of Cornwall, Uk, it does make one favour the mist drenched moors and lonesome coastlines where tales of merefolk wend into the small towns and villages dotted about the rainy region. So, its no surprise that I tend to lean into the darkness of tales, where ancient beings of murky magic play with the strings of fate.

My writing and drawing is frequently distracted by two dogs that snooze and play at my side when writing takes over my thoughts. Nixie Sticks and Lilly Goat, two little forest creatures that have definitely wandered in from the woods to ask for treats and toys when I need a break from staring at words.
