About My Books
I write feel-good fiction set in the heart of the Scottish Highlands and islands—stories full of love, family, and second chances.
For me, setting is everything. Whether it’s a Highland village or a windswept Orkney beach, the places I write about are full of soul and meaning. They’re not just where the story happens—they shape it. I love capturing the mood, the weather, the history, and the quiet kind of magic that only Scotland can bring.
My books often explore the ups and downs of family life—especially between sisters, grans, and the women we’ve lost but still carry with us. There’s always a romantic thread, but the heart of my stories is about finding your way home, to yourself and the people who matter.
You’ll find a mix of humour, warmth, and emotional honesty in everything I write. I’m drawn to characters who feel stuck or lost—until life (and maybe love) gives them the push they need to start over.
Sometimes there’s a little shimmer of something extra: an old letter, a strange bit of weather, a superstition or standing stone. I don’t write fantasy, but I do believe in signs, stories passed down, and the quiet magic that lives in ordinary things.
About Me
I’m a Scottish lass through and through—born and raised in a quiet corner of the Highlands, where the lochs are deep, the mountains are high, and the WiFi is questionable. After spending my twenties and thirties traveling the world (including a stint living in Australia), I’ve come full circle and now live by the sea in the Highlands with my husband and children.
I first trained in costume design and spent years immersed in history, fashion, and storytelling through fabric, even running my own clothing label inspired by my Scottish heritage. Then, at another stage of life, I found myself in a nine-to-five office job—worlds away from creativity. That’s when writing found me. Weekends became my escape, and before I knew it, one book turned into two, and I’d discovered my true calling—crafting uplifting, feel-good women’s fiction set in Scotland.
Now, I write stories about strong women, big dreams, and new beginnings, all wrapped up in warmth and charm.
Stubborn to the core, I love proving people wrong—whether that’s trekking 5,416m up the Himalayas, skydiving, or turning a passion for storytelling into a full-time career.
When I’m not writing, you’ll find me daydreaming at the beach, lost in a period drama, or unwinding with a glass of wine and a shameful amount of crisps.
