Where storytelling becomes self-discovery
Young adult fiction and story‑led insights to guide your inner growth
Everything’s Absolutely Fine
When perfect plans are perfectly ruined
Jodie’s new book!
Win debating. Impress her mum. Be the perfect girlfriend.
That was the plan. But when everything spirals — including a secret even she’s been avoiding — 16-year-old Eliza has to face the truth. About her family. About her feelings. About herself.
Everything’s absolutely fine... until it’s not.
Never, Not Ever
A summer of secrets and second chances
Jodie’s debut!
Longing for her dad. Avoiding her mum. Ignoring her feelings for Zack.
That was 16 year-old Tilly’s focus. But when the dad she dreamed of turns up - and the truth breaks wide open -everything she believed begins to unravel.
Never, not ever… the story she expected.

Hello, I’m Jodie!
Author | Psychologist | Creator of the Inner Library
My background in psychology, education, and emotional wellbeing has shaped my belief that stories can do more than entertain - they can guide us inward, help us make sense of ourselves, and open up space for healing.
As an author, I write heart-expanding young adult fiction filled with big feelings, deep connections, and emotional healing.
Through The Inner Library, I explore how storytelling can become a path to self-discovery—supporting readers, educators, and creatives to connect more deeply with the stories they love, and the inner worlds they reveal.
When I’m not writing or reflecting on stories, you’ll find me reading a great book, sipping tea, enjoying dark chocolate, or walking in the national park near my home.
The Inner Library
