• OUR LITTLE RAFT.

    In a sea of dinghy's and oil tankers and sleek motorboats,

    Your love is like a raft.

    Some people float past clutching on to tree beaches

    Some lie at the bottom of the sea.

  • THE PORCELAIN HEART.

    Once there was a princess who was born with a heart outside of her body. It was a pale and slippery thing, and her parents lamented so, for how was she to be a great ruler in the kingdom with such a feeble heart?

  • THE RUIN OF A CIRCUS.

    The tigers are tired. They lope around the arena, with sore toes and a resilient bout of mange thinning their furling tails. The circus used to employ a vet, you see, but that part of the budget was first to go.

Hi, I’m Olivia,

a writer, editor, and a girl with her head in the clouds. As a child, I would’ve given my left leg to be in Eragon and to have my own dragon, or for my house to be graced by the weird and wonderful likes of Thimbletack, from The Spiderwick Chronicles. Now, I try to blend those elements of fantasy that carried me away as a child and allowed me to escape my own reality, and help them find their place in my adult life.

Here, I’ve created a space where you can trail my day-to-day musings, as I capture the sporadic thoughts that keep me up at night (in between watching sheep hurdle over white picket derby fences) so as not to forget them myself.
