Her book Once Upon a Time in Birmingham: Women Who Dared to Dream is published by The Emma Press and inspired the Birmingham Royal Ballet production Luna.

She has an MA (with distinction) in contemporary literature and culture (Birkbeck, University of London). Her dissertation explored literary responses to war atrocity, read alongside the postwar philosophy of Theodor W. Adorno and Jean-François Lyotard.
