It’s release day for A Whisper of Reverie, the final instalment (at least for the foreseeable future) of my Reverie Flash Fiction series. And I honestly think it contains some of my best fantasy flash fiction stories to date! To celebrate release day, the e-book is $0.99 for a limited time. You can grab your…

Why I’m Closing My Ream Subscription (and What Comes Next)
As part of planning my writing goals for 2026, I’ve made the decision to wind down and close my Ream subscription. This wasn’t an easy choice, but after a year of trying the platform, it’s become clear that it’s not the right fit for where I am in my writing career right now. I wanted…
My 2025 in Books
Writers are first and foremost readers. I’ve heard some writers complain they don’t have time to read anymore, and I get it, but I also don’t get it. After all, reading is our first love, the thing that set us on the writing path. I’ve had more time than usual to read this year, but…
Reviewing My 2025 Writerly Goals and Looking Ahead to 2026
It’s that time of year again, when the interwebs are flooded with best-of lists and motivational memes. I’m a sucker for all of it and I still strongly believe that setting goals are the only way to get things done. I might add, update or even discard plans as the year inevitably throws some curve…
The Strange and Wonderful Creatures of Medieval Bestiaries
I’ve always had a soft spot for all things mythological, so imagine my delight when I came across an article in the October 2025 issue of National Geographic History all about the fantastic beasts of the Middle Ages. Medieval bestiaries are such a wonderful blend of imagination, symbolism, and questionable zoology – and this article…
What I Love About Dark Academia + My Favourite Book Recommendations
Think gothic libraries, elite universities, tweed jackets, masked secret societies, moody Humanities students, and a touch of the occult. If Dead Poets Society met The Secret History, that atmospheric space in between is exactly what dark academia captures – and it’s one of my favourite aesthetics. Recently, I fell down a bit of a rabbit…
I’m About to Write the Final Mythical Menagerie Story – and I’m Freaking Out a Little
I wrote Beginner’s Luck, the first instalment of the Mythical Menagerie series, back in 2017. All I had was a spark – a character with an unusual (to me, at least) name who goes on adventures and finds mythical creatures. I had no idea where the story would take me… or how much it would…
Rebranding the Reverie Flash Fiction Series
Friends, I’m in my rebranding era! After updating the covers for the Mythical Menagerie series, I set my sights on the Reverie Flash Fiction series too. When I first collected the stories into A Spark of Reverie, I hadn’t actually planned to sell it. I’d been sending out a free story each month to my…
Why Dragons Keep Turning Up in My Stories (and My Favourite Literary Dragons)
When someone asks me what my favourite genre is, I always reply: “As long as it has a dragon in it, I’ll read it.” There’s just something about these scaly, winged beings – wise, dangerous, sometimes wicked – that I can’t resist. So it’s probably no surprise that my own books ended up featuring dragons too. (Though,…
From Myers-Briggs to Enneagram: What I’ve Learned About Myself as a Writer
How do you feel about personality type tests? Personally, I’m a huge fan – which makes total sense because, according to the Myers-Briggs test, I’m an INTJ (spoiler alert: we like taking personality tests, lol). Myers-Briggs is a personality assessment that sorts people into 16 types based on how they prefer to focus attention (introvert…
