As Hong Kong dithers on whether to embrace the ‘pet economy’, my foodie poo Mojo is in Cha: An Asian Literary Journal with his review of a Hong Kong restaurant! I helpfully provided the English translation, being fluent in English, Cantonese, Mandarin, and, err, Woof. Thanks to editor Tammy Ho Lai-Ming for the editorial feedback, which Mojo really appreciated, and for publishing what is undoubtedly the silliest piece ever to appear in Cha in its 20 year history!

My latest humour column for The Hooghly Review has just embarrassed itself on the MTR, a month to the day since Flush Fiction was published. This one is called The Snide Sniper.

Also, an honour to be mentioned in the same post as poet and superhuman Shikha S Lamba! The editors thought it would be fun to have our pieces in the same issue because we have been known to fangirl each other’s work – me because she’s extraordinary and her because she’s very, very patient…

Always one of the highlights of my year, I had an absolute blast reading at the Hong Kong Lit Fest launch of the Women in Publishing Society‘s anthology Imprint 24. My reading was called In Bed with Sadie and a lot less sexy than it sounds. Big thanks to the women with WiPS for your inspiration, love, light and laughter!

The book is available in Bookazine and Lion Rock Press, who co-sponsored the event at the FCC. It’s brimming with literary goodness by wondrous women writers (and me). HUGE thanks to editor extraordinaire Carol Dyer for inviting me back and the fabulous outgoing and incoming WiPS committees for choreographing and hosting such an epic event!

Join me and the women with WiPS for another fizz-fuelled fiesta celebrating women’s voices! The Women in Publishing Society‘s Hong Kong International Literary Festival 2026 launch of Imprint 24 takes place at the FCC 4 March from 7-10pm! Tickets include two drinks, a delicious spread of complimentary canapés, free copies of the anthology, readings, speeches and performances, amid the legendary hospitality of the FCC!

My contributions to this year’s anthology are a couple of musings and a delulu doodle. While my pieces strike a slightly more reflective note than usual, I’ll be performing a humorous piece from an upcoming episode of Sharp Pains at the event by kind invitation of editor Carol Dyer, In Bed with Sadie. Don’t miss it!!!

In an exciting break with tradition (usually we are at the Fringe), the Hong Kong Writers Circle‘s Hong Kong International Literary Festival launch of its 21st anthology Coming of Age, edited by dream team Jay Oatway and Julian Lyden, will be held at the Asia Society Sat 7 March from 8-9.30pm. My contribution is like my bum curtainsAgeless. The Circle‘s last two lit fest launches of Score and Lost in Transition sold out so hurry, hurry to grab your tix! I’ll be among the readers. Afterparty TBA (but there will be one…)

I am flushed to share that my humour column Flush Fiction will be published by The Hooghly Review as a weekly feature Feb 2026! Based in India, but attracting artists and writers from all over the world, The Hooghly Review is a digital free-access magazine of literature, culture, and arts. It’s the bold creation of its founding editors Ankit Raj Ojh and Tejaswinee Roychowdhury and listed on Chill Subs’ Best Lit Mags! I can’t wait to pull down my pants and lower the tone!
