About me

Hi. I'm a crime writer from Melbourne/Naarm. 

My debut YA crime novel Gus and the Missing Boy was shortlisted for the 2024 Ned Kelly Award for Best Debut Crime Fiction and the 2025 BAD Sydney Danger Award for Best Debut Crime Fiction. 

The sequel Gus and the Burning Stones was published in August 2025. 

I'm the co-host of the Words and Nerds spin-off podcast Queer Writes Sessions with R.W.R. McDonald. 

I run writing workshops and am passionate about getting reluctant readers, especially boys, into reading books.
