Seventeen-year-old Mishka Winscott knows all there is to crafting the perfect life. Popular, pretty, smart: she chooses how her peers see her life, hiding the imperfections with a charming smile. She certainly knows how to keep her biggest secret from everyone. But when the school’s biggest bully is murdered and her elusive wish-granting app is hacked, she must decide whether swallowing her pride is worth a trip to jail.

Like many of her novels, the idea for Call Me Rumpel first came about for an Episode Interactive contest. Whilst many of the characters and the main plot made it into the final novelisation, unfortunately, the themes were just a little too heavy to be read by Episode’s wider audience age group. 

Instead, she produced A Knight’s Honour for the contest, using the two main characters’ dynamic relationship to fuel the time travelling plot. It would take a few years more, though, for her to not only finalise edits and the cover, but to build up the courage to finally publish it (in October 2024).
