Kirkenes
In Norway’s far-flung Arctic north, the port town of Kirkenes is the setting-off point for western Europe’s last remaining bus service to Russia. Reluctantly tending bar at her mother’s run-down hotel, in a town whose heyday has passed but whose links to Russia have thrown it into the spotlight, Astrid would rather be anywhere else. But when a shock discovery is made in one of the hotel rooms, life in Kirkenes suddenly becomes much more interesting.

I was involved as a writer, director and performer in the collaborative, immersive theatre event All the Rage, conceived by writer Rebecca Lenkiewcz as a response to the Epstein Files. Performances ran from Thursday 11 June until Saturday 13 June at Theatre Deli. You can buy the anthology of the writing in the show here. (All proceeds from the sale will go to Rape Crisis.)
The first book in the Lady Pamela series for Lume Books and my debut novel, The Socialite Spy: In Pursuit of a King, was published in October 2023. It features Lady Pamela More, a socialite-turned-spy tasked with trailing Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson in the murky world of espionage and fascism in 1930s London. You can order it here (UK) and here (US). In 2023, I was awarded the Society of Authors’ Foundation Grant for work in progress for my second novel, The Paris Spy , which came out on September 15 2025. You can order it here (UK) and here (US).
Produced by Podium Entertainment, the audiobooks are available on Audible. You can order The Socialite Spy here and preorder The Paris Spy (release date: July 28) here.
