My new novel, The Claim, was published by UK publishers RedDoor in July 2019. Set in the Southern Alps of New Zealand, The Claim is a tale about love and trust, about what matters in life and what doesn't, and about the elusive nature of truth. The novel was long-listed for the Michael Gifkins Prize in 2018. The Claim is available from Waterstones in the UK, from Amazon and Kindle, on-line, or direct from RedDoor.

A rare talent indeed' Mark Thompson, author of Dust. 'Extraordinary . . . one of those books we miss out on . . . so beautiful . . . a very quiet book – a gentle, beautiful read . . .
