​I have released a free PDF ebook for Halloween / Samhain 2020 (and any time of year you want to read spooky, eerie, or otherworldly things) - It was a trembling: Poems for October and Beyond.

There are 21 poems here, taken from previous books of mine: the limited edition pamphlet Land and Sea and Turning (published in 2018 by CWP Collective / Dark Particle Press) and my now out-of-print collection published in 2019, The saint of milk and flames.

For more info and to download, click the book cover - it'll take you to a special post on my seriously under-used blog.

A View from the Phantasmagoria is a paranormal horror chapbook which also explores a 20+ year struggle with PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder). £1/£2 from each sale will be split between IAPMD (the International Association for Premenstrual Disorders) and Vicious Cycle: Making PMDD Visible. For more information, visit the book page here.

My mini chapbook To Feed My Woodland Bones [A Changeling's Tale] is available now from Animal Heart Press (or directly from me). This book is made up of 12 poems written around very human experiences, but through the magical, otherworldly lens of a changeling. View the trailer here.

I was interviewed about To Feed My Woodland Bones at The Wombwell Rainbow.

​​It's not every day a writer gets this kind of praise about who they are, but when it does happen they make nice website endorsements:


"Just as interesting in person as she'd seemed on the internet."
- Poet, songwriter, and reviewer Ian Badcoe, on his blog, after the Deadly, Delicate book launch

"...a magical pixie of the poetry world."
- Zoe Mitchell, a magical poet in her own right, in an interview with The Literary Pig
If you want poetry about changelings, goth selkies, real-life fairytale villains, ghosts, love and lust, magic, motherhood, woodlands, secrets, lost things and the sea (to name a few)...

If you want historical/fiction poems about pirates, prophecies, cannibalism, witches, kings, and everyday things (again, to name a few)...

If you want a poet who can read this sort of thing at your event...

If you want someone to run workshops based around any of these things...

You've come to the right place. Welcome.
