Diversity in life is what makes everything, and everyone, interesting. My written word crosses many genres. My main aim is for the words to be light and humorous. And to always carry a positive vibe.

A novel about power, love and betrayal.
A heart-wrenching book about lost dreams, an overpowering desire for power and finding the strength to forgive.
Externally, Amelia is a strong, powerful woman, though many perceive her to be cold-hearted. As a mafia boss she needs to be seen as such, yet internally, she struggles with her life choices. Realising her own destiny is set, Amelia focuses on her son, Nicco, who is maturing into what she fears most.
Nicco is desperately trying to emulate the legend of his father, while trying to break free of his mother’s grasp. Becoming a respected mafia boss always claims a few lives. And with his singular focus on power and control, Nicco may become the ultimate undoing of his family.
Amelia will use any means possible to protect her son from the family business. Nicco will use any means possible to take control of the family business.

Lie to your mother. Pay the price.
Life does not always go to plan, and that is stressful. Gillian’s life is in limbo, neither moving backwards nor forwards. She has no long-term career; no short or long-term relationship; and her mother thinks her uterus will expire on her next birthday like rotting fruit. All she does have is her anxiety, and a handful of close friends. All of whom are lesbians that seem to delight in her hetero misery.
To stall the inevitable judgement by her mother, Gillian lies and tells her that she is in a relationship, with a woman. It’s only a small lie. A white lie really. One to give Gillian time, and space, from the supposed closing doom of childless singledom. But, like all lies, it quickly grows, infesting every part of her life. The lie was not meant to hurt anyone, least of all Gillian herself.
This light-hearted book looks at the dynamics of relationships and the stark difference that exists between what is thought, what is seen and what is unspoken. A feel good book about finding one’s true self in unexpected ways.
