I spent three decades as long-haul cabin crew, serving coffee in the clouds and writing in hotel rooms while the rest of the crew sensibly hit the bar. My award-winning debut novel, Purple, was written during those sleepless, jet-lagged hours between flights. My short story, Sea Change, appears in Queer Life, Queer Love Vol. 3 (Muswell Press, 2025). Cakewalking, a deeply personal piece of auto-fiction told through the eyes of a teenage boy navigating grief, desire, friendship and family, is out soon.
