I adapt novels for the screen. I am currently working on my third screenplay, an adaptation of the novel "Wringland" (published by Pan Macmillan in 2001) as a six-part drama series. I recently completed an adaptation of the novel "A Night With No Stars" (published by Allison & Busby) as a five-part drama series. My first screenplay, an adaptation of the novel "Cut To The Bone", is a 100 minute film.

For the past six months, I have also been working on an original film screenplay of my own. A historical drama set in the 1790s in New South Wales, dealing with the large themes of colonisation, invasion and settlement.

I love and am inspired by the writing of Tim Winton and Hilary Mantel.
