It feels surreal to finally be able to share that I’m going to be a @harpercollins.bsky.social UK.

I couldn’t have got here without the HC Author Academy, which opens for applications in January.

I can’t say much yet about the book - but TRAUMA BONDS will be published by Mudlark in 2027.

In December, the killers in the "doppelganger murder" were sentenced to life in prison. But German authorities failed to notify the victim's family in Algeria.

Instead, the victim's mom & sister only found out 3 weeks later — when I reached out to check in.

A woman killed her lookalike to fake her own death. When she was sentenced to prison, nobody told the victim's family.

👋 I’m a journalist, based in London, who writes about social affairs, human rights, demography, and world politics.

I also read lots of books, watch too much reality TV, and… like long walks on the beach?
