Who I am

‍My work explores how stories shape our lives and our cultures, and how the stories we tell can help us create a wiser and more harmonious world.

I’m a novelist and non-fiction writer. My articles and short stories are published in Australia, the UK and the US as well as on my Substack Alchemy of Story newsletter.

My writing and teaching are deeply rooted in my PhD on the function of story as a developmental tool, exploring how its potential to serve as a vehicle for psychological and social transformation.

Through my writing and my workshops, mentoring and manuscript appraisals, I help writers, seekers and change-makers explore the stories that shape their lives, uncover deeper narratives and imagine new possibilities.

At the heart of my work lies the belief that story is not only a tool for communication, but a path to wholeness and a tool for reimagining ourselves and our world.

‘A question I’ve asked myself for many years is - How do we as writers, as storytellers, as readers take action? Bring hope? Make a difference? And the answer is always the same. We look inside ourselves for the qualities we seek, and from that place we create and we choose stories that weave in connection, cooperation, community and compassion, stories about personal, local and global transformations, stories that burn with the light of Hope and lead us through the chaos to harmony.’
