My new weekly Writer’s Gauntlet column for The Hooghly Review got off to a cracking celebrity start thanks to the wondrous wit and support of Helen Lederer, fairy godmother to witty women everywhere, award-winning author, comedian, founder of the Comedy Women in Print Prize. The inaugural column was published 12 June 2026. The wittiest responders will be invited to join me on a podcast!

Helen’s memoir Not That I’m Bitter is a joyous explosion of hilarity and humanity. Read the reviews by top literary critics and famous wits like Joanna Lumley, Ben Elton & Stephen Fry!

My latest conversation for Cha: An Asian Literary Journal dives into the life of Sri Lankan author Nifraz Rifaz and inspirations for his soaring debut novel Paper Plane. The book launched Nov 2025. I was among the first to read and review it for The Hooghly Review. This interview dives deeper! Thanks editor Tammy Ho Lai-ming for the care and attention you put into making every piece you publish pop!

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…

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!
