About Me

Originally from the east and west coast of the USA, I have lived in the UK with my husband and three kids for over twenty years. I love nothing more than to immerse myself into new places and experiences, and I love the way that books allow me to do that, travelling the globe or even back in time with the turn of a page.

Over the years, I have worked as a teacher of various ages and abilities, as a copywriter, and as a translator. I've had the pleasure of seeing my short stories published in several literary magazines and being named the third-place winner of the London Magazine Short Story Prize 2018. My debut novel, A More Perfect Union, won the Diverse Book Award in 2021, was longlisted for the Jhalak Prize, and was chosen as a BBC Radio 2 Book Club pick.

My next novel publishes in February 2026 in the USA, where it's called Inharmonious, and in July 2026 in the UK, where it's titled The Colour of Home.
