Soooo beautiful. I'm from Australia and it was one of the stops on my must-visit bookshop list while in the UK for just a few days.

I am thrilled (also shocked / stunned / disbelieving / flabbergasted) to announce that ⚡️THUNDERSTRUCK⚡️ will be published by HarperFiction (UK) and Avon (US) in 2026. 💙📚

This story is is a mythology-infused academic romantasy, with a climate justice subplot — and spice.

I picked up both 'Kew Gardens' and 'On Being Ill' when I was there the other day -- such a beautiful bookshop!

Introducing myself over on Instagram ✨ www.instagram.com/p/DK6vxpnxoHj/

If you like magic & mythology, light & dark academia (that’s my sort of “why choose?”), and lovers kissing in the library — please say hi! Would love to connect with other romantasy authors, in Australia and beyond.
