I don't write from the outside of hard things. I write from the inside of them. I'm adopted. Neurodivergent. A woman who has spent a lifetime not quite fitting in—at church, at school, in my own skin. South African by birth, shaped by Ireland, and deeply at home in Australia now. Mine is not a polished story. It is a true one. And it is exactly why I write for the women I do. Not cosy faith fiction. Honest faith fiction. I write for the ones on the outside. The ones questioning their faith walk. The ones who don't know where God is when everyone around them seems to find Him easily. If you have been hurt by the church, by loss, by life—but are still, stubbornly, showing up—these stories are for you. They don't look away from the hard places. They point you gently, truthfully, back toward the arms of God. 𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝘁. All royalties from every book I write are donated in full to the Grace Church Missions Fund. When you buy one of my books, you are not just reading a story—you are funding a mission.

You are not here by accident.
