A mum, horse rider and children's book author writing tales of wonder, laughter, and everyday adventures.
Inspired by the way my children see the world
My journey into children's literature began when I stepped into the world of motherhood. Becoming a new mum opened my eyes to the genuine magic, curiosity, and surprises of growing up. Watching my children explore the world inspired me to capture those real, lived experiences on paper turning the ordinary triumphs and messy challenges of childhood into heartfelt, relatable stories.
For the love of horses
When I am not scribbling down dialogue or dreaming up playful characters, you will likely find me out in the paddock. Raising two energetic kids in the often moody, not-so-sunny Manawatu in the North Island keeps life grounded and delightfully busy. Horse riding is my favourite escape; I train in classical dressage and working equitation, give riding lessons and run a boutique equestrian store vision equestrian.
Some of the books I write help young readers and their parents navigate life's big feelings together. Through good times, tricky days, and funny hiccups along the road, laughter is always the best medicine. I hope my characters become comforting, memorable companions at bedtime.
"Laughter is always the best medicine. I hope these stories bring happiness and joy to your day."
