New Book Coming Soon
First, I want to say a big thank you to those who have both purchased Sandra Kellie, and subscribed to my website. I really appreciate your support and feedback.
Work is well underway toward preparing my next book for launch.
Whilst I cannot put a precise date on that, realistically I'm looking at a second quarter 2025 launch.
My next novella is a humorous science fiction story. That is all I am revealing so far.
There are several stages of editing that I put my projects through.
Presently, this story is completing its first red penning stage, having already completed heaps of revisions and tweaks.
I will keep you posted throughout the journey as the story moves toward publishing.

Debut Novella
Sandra Kellie
Sandra Kellie is about to turn eighteen. She is barely coping with the death of her father; the stress of moving with her mother from Australia to England - her parents’ native home; and starting a new school - West Sentosa High.
To make matters worse, Sandra has to contend with Freeda Crawford and her gang.
Worn down by their daily torments and pranks, Sandra’s self-esteem hits an all-time low.
Sandra and her friends, Emma and Jess, seek revenge. Will they end Freeda’s tyranny? And is it even possible to bring down someone the teachers believe is a role model student?
Note: Contains adult themes
About Sandra Kellie...
Sandra Kellie was a name I plucked out-of-the-blue initially as a working title, but like many of my projects, the working title became the book’s title.
Most of my novellas are based on personal experiences. I call it mixing fact with fiction and fantasy. Sandra is no exception. There are many elements of this story that are based on my own exposure to school bullying, and those I have seen other people suffer.
One example – the scene of Sandra’s aggressor demoralising a teacher – is based in part on a true event. Looking back it was shocking to think there were over 20 of us in that class, and yet we all sat back and did nothing but look on silently as the aggressor brought this poor teacher to a quivering wreck.
School life is an eventful adventure. There were so many things that went on in my classes and at my school. One day I decided to fictionalise it all into Sandra Kellie.
