PENELOPE reimagines Ulysses for a new century, in a kaleidoscope of sixteen voices navigating love, loneliness and identity. Inspired by James Joyce’s schema yet unbound by its form, this modern odyssey unfolds across one ordinary, extraordinary day, tracing how the sacred and mundane intertwine. Each hero searches for meaning in the hum of the everything, and in doing so, writes their own return home. Available soon. (Melbourne Naarm, 2026)

EVENINGS is a collection of intimate vignettes, woven together by memory, desire and the quiet ache of things left unsaid. Life unfolds in bars, bedrooms and walled cities where time slows and its people search for connection or the courage of letting go. (Melbourne Naarm 2025)

SWEET MUSIC is about committing to memory the sounds and feelings of the space between nature and noise, love and friendship, loss and learning. This collection celebrates music in all its forms, and is an ode to the sweet music we hear when we allow ourselves silence. (Melbourne Naarm 2023)

I would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which these stories we dreamed up throughout Australia. I pay respect to Elders past and present, and acknowledge that sovereignty has never been ceded. The continued resistance and enduring determination of First Nations peoples in dismantling outdated colonial systems is truly inspiring.
This always was, always will be Aboriginal Land.
