In June 2022 my first book Stand Up Paddleboarding in Great Britain - Beautiful Places to Paddleboard in England, Scotland and Wales was published by award winning publisher Vertebrate Publishing. It was nominated for the William Hills Sports Book of the Year Award and Shortlisted for The Great Outdoors Book of the Year.
​
In spring 2024 my second book about Stand Up Paddleboarding in the Lake District will be published. I will share the journey with you on my journal.
​
​
I have contributed to two books on women's health: Sorted by Dr Juliet McGrattan and Menopause: Change for the Better by Deborah Garlick/Henpicked.
​
I have also been featured in Susan Saunders The Power Decade (2023), Liv Bolton's The Outdoors Fix (2023) and Poorna Bell's Stronger (2021).
I have been invited by a variety of online and in print magazines to write about my story of sobbing in Tesco's in May 2013, overwhelmed and anxious, to finding joy and self confidence in movement and paddleboarding coast to coast in 2019. A few are included below:
