In my writing, I take a particular interest in exploring various human experiences and perspectives, from the protagonist to the antagonist. I write across a variety of genres, including historical, crime, and psychological fiction, suburban noir and supernatural suspense. I love to write short-form fiction, including novellas, novelettes, short stories and flash fiction.

I enjoyed your short story Jabiru. How you twist a first date story with a memoir of places you visited in Kakadu National Park and the people you met along the way.

I’ve just read’s Kate short story ‘Call your Grandma’. I enjoyed how Kate, in so few words, used several characters to tell the story with their thoughts. I was right there at the scene with the characters. A shocking twist at the end of the story. Well done Kate.
