I'm a twenty-seven year old author, who divides my time between a full-time uni degree, a job within the television industry (that I'm yearning to escape from) and penning my next novel. I have been published in MoviePilot, Blue Crow Magazine, Vertigo, The Independent Australian and now The Australian Times (as a regular contributor) for a broad array of work, including interviews, reviews and short stories. One of my novels, 'The Sisters of Satan' was published in 2011 and the second edition was published in 2012, a fantasy horror novel that is still available internationally. My novella, 'Hoi Polloi' is set to be published as an E-Book later this year. My facebook page has an abundance of my work, do feel free to have a look and pass on any feedback. Thank you!
