Writer
Life is messy...
And that's where the magic lies — between the cracks.
​
I write stories that deal in second chances, sentient spaces, survival, softening, and finding the grit to begin again.
​My fiction explores the hidden strength of women, grief, resistance and renewal.
​
Tree Bird Fish Bell is the first book in my Glasgow trilogy and is currently out on submission.
Who I Used To Be tracks the story of a woman who flew half a world away to keep a secret, and forty years later finds that the past is catching up with a secret that refuses to stay buried. ​
​
Our lives become stories. And sometimes, the stories become our lives.

Readers' thoughts
Maggie! You have written the most wonderful love letter to Glasgow. It just shines on every page - even the grotty bits!
I was enthralled from start to finish. With beautiful prose, I could feel the passion pouring out of the page. I would most definitely recommend this to a friend.
