Books & art,
all in one place.

Romantasy, special editions, and the paintings I make between chapters — from an Aussie in Wales who always has a Kindle nearby and a cat stealing the good blanket.

Wild Reverence by Rebecca Ross

Wild Reverence

Rebecca Ross

“Gods, letters, and a love story that feels a little sacred. This one earned two spots on the grid for a reason.”

Fantasy

Wild Reverence

Rebecca Ross

Lush, a little devastating, and very much my kind of mythic romance. If you liked Divine Rivals, start here next.

A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas
Romantasy

A Court of Mist and Fury

Sarah J. Maas

This is the one I press into people's hands. The world opens up and I was gone.

Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros
Romantasy

Fourth Wing

Rebecca Yarros

Dragons, a war college, and the kind of slow-burn that makes you miss your stop. The Empyrean stack on my feed is not a coincidence.

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Romance

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

Taylor Jenkins Reid

A palate cleanser that still wrecked me. Old Hollywood glamour, a garden bench, and I thought about it for days.

On the easel

Books and a little paint
between chapters.

Acrylic

Mountain study

Snow, distance, and a lot of tiny brushes. This one shows up on the grid between the book stacks.

Acrylic

Mirror

A girl looking back. I painted this between chapters and it still lives on the easel in more than one photo.

Paint

Liquitex Basics acrylics

Liquitex

The tubes that actually get squeezed. Not precious, just reliable colour for landscapes and the odd portrait between chapters.

Brushes

Synthetic filbert brushes

Princeton

A small set of filberts does most of the work — skies, mountains, and the soft edges I keep coming back to.

Thinking about collaborating?

I work with publishers, authors, and book-adjacent brands.
