Honestly, Harry Hartog's in Penrith is just stunning and we all need bookstores in our lives like this.

Kicking my book recommendations off with a new queer novel I just read an ARC of, THE HYMN TO DIONYSUS by Natasha Pulley. It's a rich psychological drama. The narrator's voice brings humour and earthiness into a mythic story, and the two leading men are fascinating: soldier and witch, entangled.

ONE FOR ALL, my debut novel, is a gender-bent reimagining of The Three Musketeers with a main character with POTS!

*Inspired by my experience as a competitive fencer with POTS.

Greetings to the writers, readers, academics, flΓ’neurs, and general intelligentsia! And nice to meet you, new followers. I'm a novelist. My most recent book, ORPHIA AND EURYDICIUS (2024, HarperCollins) is a gender-swapped retelling of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth. Plenty of new things in the works!
