I'm a writer — based in New Zealand — of Gothic romance and deep-emotional stories. I believe writing is a glimpse into the vast dimensions of the soul — a connection where stories take shape and every reader finds a little of themselves. Each story contains a little piece of myself, yet somehow resonates with so many others. Let's travel this imaginary world together.

The house and the haunted forest hold a sixty-year-old secret, tied to her own blood. When Lucila arrives at the fog-bound manor of Stonagris, the forest, the house, and a forgotten truth stir beneath the moss — and what she discovers will change her life, and her heart.
A quiet house. A reclusive employer. A secret that walks in the night. Julen thought he was just taking a job. Edric thought he was just hiring help. They were both wrong. A story of haunting pasts, fragile trust, and the courage to let someone in.
A summons from the past. A tragedy shrouded in secrets. When Adriel returns to Bloms Orchard to care for the man he once loved in secret — now blind and burdened by guilt — he's pulled into the epicentre of a mystery. To find a future, they must first unravel the painful truth of the past.
