Hello, I’m Leona.

I’m a translator and copywriter with a passion for psychological thrillers and gothic horror. I studied history at Cambridge and theology at Oxford, with an emphasis on the New Testament.

My first novel, The Loss of Heaven, is set in a small, fictional Catholic college at Oxford. Combining dark academia and police procedural, it starts with a Jesuit priest falling down the stairs, and ends with a devilish twist on the theme of confession and repentance.

(Yes, The Exorcist is my favourite book. How could you tell?)
