About

I’m originally from Australia but now split my time between London and Cambridge. I’m a mathematician – which is more interesting than you might think – but write short stories in my spare time. You can find some of these in my blog posts, or in the (inevitably out-of-date!) list below.

I’m a member of The Whole Kahani writing group, which is a collective of British South Asian writers. Many of my stories are centred around the north of England (Northumberland and Teeside) or Pahang, as I have close family ties with both. If you recognise any of the locations, drop me a line!
