My debut novel, These Mortal Bodies, is a dark academia coming-of-age story that follows Ivy Graveson as she escapes her small Scottish hometown to an all-girls college at a prestigious university. Thrown into an elite world where rules are made to be broken, Ivy will have to decide what she’s willing to do to protect her newfound sisterhood and how far she will go to become the person she feels she’s destined to be.

Exploring girlhood, feminine obsession and (toxic) friendship all against the backdrop of Scottish witch trials, These Mortal Bodies is a culmination of all the things I love to write, read and think about.
