She holds a Arts BA and MA in Film Studies from the Open University, where she also taught children’s literature. She has six non-fiction works published by Routledge and Jessica Kingsley focusing on equalities, LGBT issues, leadership, and grief and loss in children’s lives.

Note for readers outside of the uk

While we always encourage purchasing directly from our website – as this benefits both the charity and the author – we understand that international postage has become increasingly expensive. As a charity press, we’re unable to offer free postage as the current shipping cost to addresses outside of the UK is higher than we feel is fair to ask readers to pay.

For that reason, we recommend ordering your print copy of Dirty Sweet through your country’s Amazon listing, where you can access Amazon Prime delivery. Or, visit your local bookshop and ask them about stocking Dirty Sweet! You can also order the eBook directly through Arkbound, which (of course) has no postage. Thank you for visiting the Arkbound bookshop, and please continue supporting small presses by ordering directly whenever you can! Any questions, please email hello@arkbound.com.
