I mean who bloody stole it?! Thieving bastards.

I need it.

Without it; I can’t walk straight, think straight, speak, swallow, pee. I can’t move and yet I move all the time - stiff and bendy.

I’m like a cocktail - violently shaken and dangerously alcoholic…

Coming soon

Half memoir, half rant, half wine menu. I stagger through the trials and joys of living with this infuriating disease from the perspective of a menopausal-at-the-end-of-her-tether 48-year-old woman.

This comes with the following trigger warnings:

distressing descriptions of domesticity, running out of wine, reference to teenager tantrums, getting stuck in clothing, cancelling events, trying to shower daily and more

It also covers:

social injustice, medical challenges, depression, suicide, chronic illness, graphic bodily functions, extreme symptoms, death

But above and beyond all of the above it has swearing, much swearing.

If this sounds like the book for you, then please follow along in this special segment for updates and extracts released on occasional Saturdays

Tumbled: the internet’s only Parkinson’s rom-com.

After 25 years away Emma returns to her home town. 

A place she swore she’d never set foot in again…except it happens to be where the love of her life lives.


Now she must navigate moving two small children the length of the country, find a place to live, reconnect with old friends, make new ones, adapt to the awful weather, find a way to feed herself and discover whether she and her love are meant to be.


Oh, Emma also discovers she has Parkinson’s.
