Out-of-the-Box Books
I write and illustrate books that are funny, honest… often irreverent… and occasionally… ranty and rebellious.
I like to poke fun at “normal,” interrogate the status quo, and celebrate the colourful, chaotic diversity of humanity.Oh… and I regularly push back at sameness and those one-size-fits-all boxes and belief systems.
I have no hidden agendas and zero desire to tell other humans how they ought to live, behave, believe, or be. That said, I do have an insatiable urge to point out how absurd and nonsensical many of our made-up rules and expectations are — and how damaging they can sometimes be.

"How Heather got her HAT'ness back!"
"It's like... Dr Seuss meets Bridget Jones"
A full-colour, rhymed, illustrated memoir – part confessional, part creative rebellion – How Heather Got Her HAT’ness Back is for anyone who’s ever tried to fit in… and lost a little of themselves in the process.
Once upon a time, Heather was Hat — a tree-climbing, feather-wearing wild child who coloured outside every line. But as the world’s voices grew louder — be neat, be good, be pretty, be normal — she began trading her sparkle for approval, one compromise at a time.
Years later, surrounded by bills, beige routines and other people’s expectations, she began to wonder: What happened to the real me?
Told in whimsical rhyme and bursting with colour, How Heather Got Her HAT’ness Back is a witty, heartfelt celebration of rediscovering your much’ness — and daring to let it shine again.
