From Rotterdam to Yorkshire.

I am a writer of fantasy and science fiction. After living in the Netherlands and Germany and finishing my MA in Writing I have settled in Leeds, UK, where I work as a Brand Manager and spend my free time drawing up stories and drinking Yorkshire tea.

Since moving to Leeds I have found a kind and vibrant community of writers and readers. Notably Leeds Writers Circle has been a consistent support network.
