Somewhere between fiction and reality.
I started writing because I wanted to escape into a world of self-indulgent fantasy. Turns out, the best stories don’t take you away from reality—they make you see it differently.
From the raw, restless energy of Hoodie to the slow-burning suspense of A Tangled Web, my stories dig into the messy side of life—identity, obsession, and the fine line between what we perceive to be true and what’s actually reality.
Sometimes it’s gritty, sometimes it’s surreal, and sometimes it’s just a kid wondering if the lines on his palms mean something.
A Tangled Web
When passion meets obsession, and past meets present, it’s bound to get messy.
Luke’s a tech-savvy loner who spends his days lost in lines of code, artificial conversations and hacking colleagues’ online chat to keep up with office gossip. But his world is turned upside down when new COO Estelle arrives at his firm’s London HQ.
Estelle is everything Luke is not - charismatic, ambitious, and alluring. As Estelle pulls Luke from his digital cocoon, he provides her with the inside track needed to navigate the firm’s male-dominated hierarchy.
Behind closed doors, their passionate alliance blurs the lines between love and obsession and, as buried secrets claw their way to the surface, leads towards dramatic consequences that keep the reader guessing who’s the predator and who’s the prey until the very end.
I’m currently seeking literary agent representation for A Tangled Web. If mind games, power plays, and pacy page-turners are your thing, let’s talk.
Hoodie
Coming of age. Coming undone.
Ben Chapman—aka Hoodie—has a plan. Step one: escape school for good. Step two: take down the local drug dealer on his way out. Step three: find a job, make some money, and maybe—just maybe—win the heart of Isabelle, the girl who barely knows he exists.
Simple, right?
But beneath his oversized hoodie, Ben’s world is anything but. Fuelled by dope, cheap wine, and the unshakable belief that he’s destined for something bigger, he hurtles through a summer of dead-end job hunts, unexpected reunions, and the kind of love that doesn’t fit neatly into a daydream. When he starts seeing auras and fixates on the rare simian lines etched into his palms—lines shared by visionaries, addicts, and outcasts alike—he begins to wonder: is he a lost kid in a broken system, or is there something more waiting for him?
Raw, darkly funny, and laced with the restless energy of youth, Hoodie is a coming-of-age story about self-discovery, survival, and the fine line between reality and something more.

“Such an inspirational book about a boy who struggles through life with issues as friends, girlfriends, family and identity. Throughout a really good book that focuses on the youth cime issue in the UK, and it makes you think twice about judging and isolating people different from yourself. I used it as the primary litterature in a huge exam, and it was very good, since there are so many analytical points and a good read!”
