Let me introduce myself…

Madeleine (aka Madi) is an Australian indie author currently writing her debut novel. Her work explores the power of music, memory, self-acceptance, family, grief and a love that transcends time itself.

Known for her bookstagram content under the name @one.orange.patch.reads, Madi is an avid reader, reviewer and collector of all things cosy and whimsical, who finds joy in sharing her passion for books with an incredible online community of book besties.

Her debut novel, Both Sides Now, is set to release later this year.

She lives in Newcastle, on the east coast of Australia, with her many books, sourdough starter Sezzy and (perhaps) excessive collection of coffee mugs.
