Hi, I’m Serena, thank you for visiting my site! Feel free to look around, we’ve got mysteries and mayhem galore. Keep a special eye out for a runaway lobster and a mischievous granny!
I had my first and second books in the Anisha, Accidental Detective series published in 2020. The series is made up of mystery stories about family and friendship, it’s a little bit daft and there’s a lobster, a rat, exploding volcanos and missing grooms. Sounds fun? You can read an extract from the first book here.
I think I’ve always loved reading and writing. Reading books was my favourite thing to do when I was a kid. It allowed me to escape into other worlds and go on wild adventures with weird and wonderful characters. I always felt like the odd one out at school but in books it was better to stand out than fit in. That gave me hope. My favourite book as a child was Alice in Wonderland by C.S Lewis.
As an author now, (that still feels weird to say out loud!) I try to write characters who are a bit weird and wacky, they’re always getting themselves into trouble though!
At the moment, I’m looking forward to releasing the seventh book in the Anisha series in the summer of 2023 and I’m working on top secret projects which I hope to be able to say more about soon!
I wish you happy adventuring whichever books you’re escaping into!
