“I made a mistake without thought, A slip that I never had sought. It wasn’t a lie, But it made someone cry – Now it’s something I wish I’d been taught.”
“The words left my lips like a dart, Too quick to be pulled back apart. Though I begged the air, To undo the tear — The echo still stings in my heart.”
“A moment I can’t rewrite now, The ‘sorry’ feels frail anyhow. Time bends like a bow, But the ache won’t go — Just shadows where light should allow.”
I’m a writer drawn to the darker corners of human emotion and the intricate dance between love and mystery. My work spans thriller, romance, and poetry—each genre a different lens through which I explore what it means to be caught between desire, danger, and the search for truth.
I live in Edinburgh, a city that has become both my home and my constant inspiration. The stony streets, the weight of centuries embedded in every corner, the moody skies that shift from silver to slate—it all feeds my imagination. There’s something about this place: the way history whispers from ancient closes, the gothic architecture that seems to blur the line between beauty and darkness, the sense that every alleyway holds a story waiting to be uncovered.
That obsession with atmosphere, with secrets hidden beneath surface beauty, bleeds into everything I write. Whether crafting a psychological thriller, weaving a complex love story, or distilling raw emotion into verse, I’m always chasing that same quality I find on Edinburgh’s streets—the tension between what is beautiful and what is haunted.
