She is an award-winning presenter and her debut thriller THIRST was shortlisted for the Whistler Independent Books Awards (2017). BLUE FIRE, her second to feature geologist Alex Graham, was shortlisted for the International Rubery Awards (2019) and was a semi-finalist in the Adventure Writers Competition (2019).
