She was short-listed for the Dundee Book Prize and her writing has appeared in a wide range of anthologies and literary publications including Wyldblood Magazine, Epoch Press, and Art North.
She is the author of seven novels including neo noir thriller Boyle's Law. Her latest books are narrative memoirs. Modernist Dreams Brutalist Nightmares is a searingly honest and brutally funny memoir about being part of the first generation to grow up in Cumbernauld, Scotland's most ambitious and experimental New Town. Its sequel, Bitter Fruit, is set in the 1980s, a time when the news was rarely good. Bitter Fruit is a frank and darkly funny book about coming to terms with trauma and trying to find your way in an unforgiving world.
