(Pākehā & Irish, she/her) I live in Ōtautahi with my partner and my cat Lemon. Disabled/chronic illness. Just trying to live my life.
I made panna cotta and then blueberry muffins as well. Time to lie down for ages.

Wishing everyone a very happy holiday. May the festive velvet worm crawl into all of your houses tonight and boop your sleeping snoots with its many adorable feet, as is tradition.
A sincere thanks for all the support throughout this year. I'm looking forward to my new book hit the shelves in 2026!
