Hello

I have written four books, and sold foreign rights in multiple languages:

​

WORD WISE (Hachette, October 2020).

THE HAPPINESS ANIMAL (2014, 2025, also French: La Sagesse du Koala (Éditions de la Martinière); Italian, Russian, Spanish). 

​

I’ve also written for  publications including Fast Company, delivered seminars on word power, appeared in two interviews with the BBC in the UK, and my most recent book, Word Wise garnered me a speaking slot alongside the Dalai Lama at the world happiness conference.

​

I’m a British-Australian (more British than Australian) New Yorker but have also lived and worked in India, France and Germany. The last twenty years I've lived in Sydney, New York, and  Cornwall, where I grew up.
