About me

Roots in (which is a fancy way of saying “my parents are from…”) North Yorkshire and Bavaria, born in Berlin. So, yeah, my heritage is a mix of misty moors, Alpine peaks, and gritty techno clubs. I grew up speaking both English and German, lived in Vienna and London, and am now based in Berlin again. I’ve seen the fog creep over the North Yorkshire Moors and the dark alleys of big cities—they both tell fascinating stories, and sometimes they even come together for a dance.

After graduating from the German Film and TV Academy Berlin (DFFB), I began working as a screenwriter. Since then, I have worked on shows for Sky, ARD, RTL, and Apple TV, including the German version of the BBC hit sitcom, Ghosts.

But my journey didn’t start with my professional career. Looking back, I’d say I’ve always been a writer, as long as I can remember, even though I might not have known what to call it yet. To me, writing is like breathing; I can’t imagine a life without it, and even if I weren’t able to make a living from it, I’d still be filling pages.

As an author, I am only just beginning. My debut novel, LOCH DORCHA, is a Highlands mystery thriller and ghost story that dives into psychological horror and Gothic folk tales. It is currently an Audible Original, narrated by the wonderful Daisy Ridley, and is available in both English and German.

I like the dark stuff—the stuff that sends shivers up your spine and adrenaline through your body; the stuff that delves into the depths of the human psyche and tells us something about who we are; the stuff that moves us and touches us, but keeps us thoroughly entertained and turning pages. Among my biggest influences are Stephen King, Susan Hill, Shirley Jackson, Ursula K. Le Guin, Patricia Highsmith, Alan Moore, and Tolkien, to name just a few.

As of now, I’m working on my next book. And it’s going to be… scary!
