I’m English but have lived in NZ for 19 years. I’ve always been a serious reader, and have been reviewing on GoodReads for years, but in the past few years have developed my reviewing through NetGalley and now Reedsy. I mostly read mysteries and thrillers, although enjoy other genres in between.

I am an avid reader and writer who has an infinite love of books. I like to review books because it allows not only me to grow as a reader, but for the writer to grow and other readers out there to grow as well.
