It’s supposed to be the best summer of her life. But when a ghostly face appears in the window, Jaynie begins to discover her aunt’s home hides a dark past of slavery, abuse and maybe even murder. Jaynie wants to help the ghost, but all memories and mementoes of the ghost’s entire life will be erased unless Jaynie can find the courage to speak up for both of them.

My novel is a fantasy adventure for teenagers. It’s set in a future dominated by an elitist race called The Alaimsir who are obsessed with beauty. Amber's people are separated: moving from island to island as each is destroyed.

Becoming Invisible is a work of young adult fiction inspired by the kids I worked with in Peru: Lima’s streets are littered with strays. Diego and his friends pay them little heed, stepping over them as they do the rubbish. They refer to them as the invisibles and treat them as such.

Until the day Diego becomes one.

The journals of Diego and his friends tell the stories of their quest to find him and his quest for survival in a darkly twisted underworld where he is far from invisible.
