Moth (2021)

Devotion (2022)

"A beguiling and astute storyteller."

Complicit (2022)
Winnie M Li

The Whalebone Theatre (2022)
Joanna Quinn
"The Whalebone Theatre has all the makings of a classic. And Cristabel Seagrave is the most gratifying hero. The war scenes often left me breathless: they are as good as you will ever read. A wonderful debut. Actually, a tour de force."
