Bio

Science fiction and fantasy writer 🪐
Production Liaison at Warner Bros. 🌎

My books have been translated into 22 languages, and my debut novel HOLD BACK THE STARS is being adapted for film by the producers of ‘Arrival’ and ‘Stranger Things’ for Lionsgate.

I also work in film production for Warner Bros. on science fiction and fantasy films shooting in the UK. I’ve worked in film and television for 15 years, including 5 years as Head of Digital at Paramount Pictures.

My novels:

📘 HOLD BACK THE STARS — a couple are falling through space with only 90 minutes of air remaining, intercut with their love story on a utopian Earth.

Published by Simon & Schuster (US), Penguin Random House (UK), and translated into 22 languages. A film adaptation is in the works at Lionsgate, directed by Justin Baldoni (Five Feet Apart), from a screenplay by Christy Hall (I Am Not Okay With This), produced by Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen (Stranger Things).

📙 THE LIGHT BETWEEN US — four female scientists are experimenting with time travel when one of them goes missing. But as they search for their friend, everything seems to be different... This is ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind’ from the female perspective!

Published by Penguin Random House (UK) and in development for a feature film.

📕 Third novel in progress — currently researching cults, islands, investigative journalism, feminism, science fiction sacred doctrines, and killer third-act twists.
