Louise is an author, bookseller, and creative writing tutor who lives in Hampshire. 

Her debut novel, Operation Moonlight, won the Penguin Random House First Novel competition, and was published in 2022. She is represented by literary agent LBA Books.

Louise is passionate about women’s history. She loves nothing more than discovering the stories of ordinary women in the past who achieved extraordinary things, but whom history has forgotten.

Her second novel, Women of War, was published in 2025 with Penguin, and the sequel, The Library of War and Peace, was published in 2026.

She works as Book Manager at her local independent book shop, Goldfinch Books, and regularly hosts author events there. She also runs a large book club, a monthly writing group, and gives talks on the real women who inspire her stories.

When she isn’t writing, Louise can usually be found hiking in the countryside.
