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!

The Hong Kong Writers Circle‘s 19th anthology Lost in Transition launched in a ‘sold out‘ event at the Hong Kong International Lit Fest on Wednesday evening – and sold out of copies at Bookazine 48 hours later! Thanks to everyone who came out to support! The anthology will be restocked at Bookazine and uploaded to Amazon shortly!

Join me for my final event of HKILF 2024 when I’ll be performing my humorous short story The Snide Sniper at the Women in Publishing Society‘s launch of Imprint 22 at the FCC!

I had an absolute blast taking part in my first lit fest last weekend reading an excerpt from my absurdist short story Shitstorm at the 2021 Hong Kong International Literary Festival! Shitstorm is one of many short stories published by the Hong Kong Writers Circle in their 2021 anthology After The Storm.

The book is now available to buy in paperback and as an e-book on Amazon, in Bookazine and (from next Friday) Kidnapped in Sai Kung! Thanks to Hong Kong Buzz for their cheeky little plug and to the Writers Circle for introducing me to some of the best people in Hong Kong! If you’d like to join our Circle, click here! And if you’d like to support the HK Lit Fest by sponsoring an event or becoming a patron, click here!

Catch me reading an excerpt from my short story Shitstorm in the Hong Kong Writers Circle‘s 2021 anthology After The Storm at a Hong Kong International Literary Festival event at the Hong Kong Fringe Club Nov 12! Admission is free, but you do have to book as space is limited. The anthology will be published the same day or shortly after (definitely in time for Christmas!) and available to buy from booksellers, including Bookazine and Amazon. Bring on the festive fun! (Halloween feels more of a trick than a treat now you have to wear two masks!!)

Clearly the person who wrote this had not read Shitstorm. 🤣

In this preview of a series of podcasts I am making about Hong Kong Writers Circle, I interview HKWC Chairman Chris Maden and Nathan Laurer, Chief Editor of the Circle’s 2020 anthology, Masking the City: Hong Kong in Allegory. The anthology (which has just received a rave review in the SCMP) is being launched at a Hong Kong Literary Festival event at the Hong Kong Fringe Club this Friday (Nov 13). It’s free to attend so check it out!!! The anthology is now available to buy at Bookazine and on Amazon!

For the next few weeks, up until Christmas, I’ll be posting an interview with a different author each week! Each writer will read a short excerpt from their allegory. Don’t miss it!!!
