My fiction explores memory, perception, time, and the fragile structures through which we attempt to understand ourselves. Working across literary, speculative, and philosophical fiction, I write novels concerned less with answers than with attention.

I am the author of four completed novels, three of which explore related philosophical questions from different planes of existence while remaining entirely independent works.

The Desert Lake

The Desert Lake is a polyphonic literary novel told through multiple voices, each circling the same body of water. It is about the discipline of staying when leaving would be easier, and what happens when the usual strategies stop working and something quieter becomes necessary. Developed over many years before reaching its final form, the novel explores memory, addiction, perception, and the quiet ways in which lives intersect.

Photo Booth

A companion novel to The Desert Lake, Photo Booth follows a drifter and writer through the Florida Keys in a world that has quietly reorganised itself to receive him. Through fragmentation, repetition, and constrained frames, it explores what is lost when recorded images begin to replace lived experience, and asks how identity survives when memory itself becomes mediated.

The Waiting Room

The Waiting Room is an ensemble novel set in a liminal afterlife whose ground thins beneath insistence and firms beneath admission. Those who have passed through one life find themselves in a condition that responds not to what they believed, but to what they are able to hold. Like the preceding novels, it explores perception, identity, and the search for meaning, while standing as an independent work in its own right.

Red Mesa Motel

Red Mesa Motel is a standalone novel set in the American Southwest. Kachina, Kachi, as she prefers, arrives at a remote motel after eleven hours of driving, a loaded gun at her hip and a plan she has been sharpening for weeks.

The Red is a place where things enter easily and are not required to leave the same way. It is a novel about the gap between what a person carries and what they have named, and about the particular clarity that arrives in a room that expects nothing of you. It marks a deliberate departure in register and setting, drawing more closely on the comic and existential traditions of writers such as Tom Robbins and J. P. Donleavy, while introducing the first of my novels centred on a single fully realised protagonist.

Earth Champs

In 2023 I was invited to curate the children’s artwork for Earth Champs, a publication presented during the COP28 Summit in Dubai in collaboration with the LFE Arts Foundation. Bringing together children’s artwork and environmental themes, the project explored how creativity can encourage reflection, empathy, and hope in response to climate change.

Alongside curating the collection, I contributed the foreword, reflecting on the power of children’s imagination to inspire environmental awareness and collective responsibility.
