She began publishing her work in 2018 while completing a degree in Songwriting and Creative Artistry from The Academy of Contemporary Music (ACM) in Guildford. Her three published YA fiction works are Every Last Psycho (2018), a compilation of two novellas that deal with heavy trauma and mental illness; Anne (2019), a coming-of-age novel about domestic violence, and Around Midnight (2020), a novel about an emotionally abusive teenage relationship. In 2023 she will be releasing the dystopian satire Tic Tac Toe.
She has also published two poetry volumes; Art is a Waste of Time (2018) and Single Broke Female (2019). Both explore the essence of womanhood, including sexuality, femininity, and emotional angst.

In 2021 Macha began writing contemporary new adult romance under the pen name Diana Vale. Her Kirk University books are standalone stories about students who find love at university. This fictitious university is based on the real-life University of York in northern England where Macha briefly attended prior to ACM.
Macha currently has two YouTube channels: Zarina Macha Author, where she makes videos about her books and writing process, and The Rational Female, where she critiques Feminism. She identifies as an anti-Feminist women’s advocate, egalitarian and humanitarian. She believes in freedom, justice, and human rights for all, and seeks to protect free speech at all costs. She despises wokeism and political correctness and looks forward to the day it dies. She is also strongly against the use of sensitivity readers in fiction.
Emotive, raw, and heartbreaking young-adult novel about overcoming past traumas through resilence and love. Relatable for teen and adult readers looking for a grittier update to Judy Blume or Jacqueline Wilson.

One night her dad comes home with the news that her mother has left them forever. Unable to care for his daughter, Anne is sent to live with her kindly aunt and uncle. Struggling to settle into day school, Anne enrolls in Lakeland Boarding School. She meets and falls for gentle Karen, whose friends torment Anne and her troubled roommate Simone.
Forced to confront her traumatic upbringing, Anne learns the horrors of the past and present. Will love, hope, and inner strength prevail?
