​I'm a writer and an artist. You can find me on a small island in the Inner Hebrides, or in a little wildlife sanctuary in the Bolivian Amazon basin. I’ve worked with rescued wild animals since my early twenties, and I write and make art about love and kinship, about being queer, about living with other species, and imagining other worlds alongside our own. 

​

My first book was a bestselling memoir called THE PUMA YEARS, and it’s about a rescued puma called Wayra, and the ways we changed each other’s lives. My debut novel, THE HEART AND THE HAWTHORN, will be published this summer with Hodderscape. It's a queer love story about following your heart - and what's possible when you realise that every single creature deserves a voice.

​

I’m also studying for a BA in Painting, Drawing and Printmaking at Arts University Plymouth.

I'm represented by Rocking Chair Books.
