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…

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!!!

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!

Excited to find out the 21st Women in Publishing Society anthology Imprint 21 will launch on International Women’s Day (March 9) at the FCC as part of the 2023 Hong Kong International Literary Festival! Two of my humorous short stories are among the contributions and I am excited to have been invited to read Bake Fail at the event! Bake Fail broadcasted as an episode of Sharp Pains on RTHK Radio 3 and was published by the South China Morning Post as A Piece of Cake in 2022.

Bake Fail was nominated for Moment of Comedy Gold by the 2022 International Women’s Podcast Awards and an Official Select of the 2022 On Air Fest in Brooklyn. Sharp Pains was also shortlisted for Best Comedy Program by the 2022 New York Festivals Radio Awards and some of the stories about the sleep-deprived parents of twins long-listed by the 2022-2023 Comedy Women in Print Prize. More festival updates soon!
