About me

Award-winning crime writer and best-selling Australian Young Adult novelist, my latest book is Eleanor Jones Can’t Keep A Secret. 2025 will bring two more YA mystery thrillers, including the third installment in the Eleanor Jones series.

Meet Eleanor Jones

16-year-old Eleanor Jones has recently moved to the town of Cooinda with her mum, Min. Hesitant to make new friends or attempt to fit in, the first person Eleanor connects with is found stabbed and left for dead. Together, with an eclectic group of new mates, Eleanor must find a killer…and clear her name in the process.
