edit data

I first realised I wanted to be a writer aged seven and have been scribbling ever since. After taking Creative Writing as a minor at university, I went on to write and indie publish The Governess, a historical thriller. That was followed by The Revenge of Rose Grubb, Love and Robotics, The Artificial Wife, Diary of a Teenage Lesbian and Book 666. My seventh novel Hello Satan was released in 2021.

I enjoy reading, theatre, history, art and podcasting. I host #NotJustTentacles, an anime podcast.

Please note: All my books contain LGBT+ themes. If you are uncomfortable with such subject matter, I advise you not to read them. They are not erotica either, so anyone anticipating this will be disappointed.

Adversary

You ask why I
Forgive him
When he betrayed
Me so completely -

When he sold
My dreams
My visions
Out of spite
And fear

When he lied
Straight to
My face
Knowing that
I knew

I should have
Watched him
Fall, never
Looked back

Heard the
Rumours
With a shrug,
A sigh -

Exiled.
Damned.
Forgotten -

Save for a
Secret crack in
My heart -

But I am his
Mother, he is
My son

Family is family.
Love is eternity. Read more of this blog post »

Rachael’s Quotes

“Whatever comes," she said, "cannot alter one thing. If I am a princess in rags and tatters, I can be a princess inside. It would be easy to be a princess if I were dressed in cloth of gold, but it is a great deal more of a triumph to be one all the time when no one knows it.”
― Frances Hodgson Burnett, A Little Princess

“I wondered how it could be that two people who had loved could yet have such a misconception of each other and, with a common grief, grow far apart. There must be something in the nature of love between a man and a woman that drove them to torment and suspicion.”
― Daphne du Maurier, My Cousin Rachel
