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…

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…

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 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…

So it’s probably no surprise that my own books ended up featuring dragons too. (Though,…

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…

If you’ve been waiting to see what happens to Ambrose – and the creatures inside the Repository – after that cliffhanger from Myth Keeper, then your time has finally come! Today is a book birthday – hooray! The fate of the mythical world hangs in the balance – and Ambrose Davids may be the only…

So, you know in the old days, before the joys of e-books and online shopping, where you still went to an actual bookstore and bought physical books? It almost feels like a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… Anyhoo, at the risk of showing my age here, I used to frequent a…
