Meet the Author Behind the Stories
Author | Psychologist | Advocate for Women & Children
“This is a prayer for a world where women and children live free from violence.”
Stories hold power. They can illuminate truths, challenge injustice, and give voice to the unheard. My writing is driven by a deep commitment to advocacy, healing, and storytelling that matters.
Before I was an author, I was a psychologist, working closely with children and families in Zimbabwe and later in the UK. My work developed into research on sexual violence and intervention programs aimed at improving systems that protect children. But no one can work in this field without being changed. The faces of the women and children I encountered, their stories of survival and loss, stayed with me. By writing, I gave voice to their stories and emphasised what is often overlooked.
My novels weave reality with fiction, drawing on psychological depth, social justice themes, and the supernatural to create interesting narratives that explore trauma, resilience, and human connection.
Writing Stories That Matter
Mist and Unappeased Spirits – A supernatural mystery weaving together Zimbabwean folklore and Scottish aristocracy. When an aristocrat disappears on the haunted Mount Nyangani, a young woman’s search for him awakens spirits that refuse to be ignored.
Sun on Your Back – A deeply personal novel exploring domestic violence, justice, and survival, inspired by my experiences working with survivors of abuse.
André’s Story – A powerful short story about childhood trauma, toxic masculinity, and the long-lasting scars of abuse.
Each book reflects real-life issues, told through immersive storytelling. Fiction has the power to make people feel, question, and understand what statistics cannot.

A Passion for Travel & Exploration
I believe stories are everywhere; we just have to go out and find them. My travels inspire my writing, adding depth, setting, and culture to my books.
Places I explored in 2024:
Cape Town – Breathtaking landscapes and rich history.
Istanbul & Cappadocia – A blend of ancient and modern, where East meets West.
Edinburgh & Haworth – Literary pilgrimages to the worlds of Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters.
Mount Nyangani, Zimbabwe – The misty, mysterious setting that inspired Mist and Unappeased Spirits.
I love exploring places with deep historical or supernatural significance-anywhere that has a story waiting to be told.
Music is my greatest creative companion. Whether writing or reflecting, it fuels my imagination.
From classic literature to folklore, from history to music, I find inspiration in the emotions that shape people’s lives, love, loss, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of truth.
