Her writing is heavily influenced by the late Derek Raymond .
She lives in London, where she still works as a journalist, including for Dazed & Confused.
She published in 2023 the book Season of the Witch: The Book of Goth which is about the music genre and the subculture that grew out of it.[1] Mojo's Victoria Segal praised it, saying, it was a "superb history of the dark and all its risings", adding "It's as monumental as its subject, a real temple of love".[1]
