Big news!
My novelThe Potentials has been longlisted for the 2025 Times/Chicken House Children’s Fiction Competition, a prestigious UK award for emerging children's authors.
The Potentials is a gritty, council-estate YA urban fantasy where questioning belief triggers powers no one understands and a deadly chain of consequences.
Being longlisted is a huge honour — the competition receives hundreds of entries each year and has launched many successful authors.
I'm so proud to share this milestone and can't wait for what's next.
