I was born and grew up in Sydney, Australia. After achieving a Bachelor of Science (Honours) at the Australian National University I travelled extensively and returned to Sydney to complete a Doctor of Philosophy in Molecular Biology. Following a Post-Doctoral Fellowship at Sydney University, I  worked in a number of biotech companies and have numerous scientific publications. 

I have  always had an interest in writing speculative fiction, particularly with themes related to social and political issues. Recently I have published an apocalyptic novel called “Nuclear Midnight,” that climbed to number one on Amazon UK. My other areas of interest lie in children and teenage fiction, generated while raising three children.
