I am a publisher, editor, author and reviewer. My world is all about books!

I've lived in six countries, but my husband, daughter, two dogs and I are now lucky enough to have settled in Dunedin, New Zealand. As a UNESCO City of Literature, Dunedin is somewhere I feel right at home!

If I'm not writing or reading, you'll find me tying myself in yoga knots, splashing around in water (the ocean is best!), going for long walks, or enjoying some good food and wine. 

​Welcome!
