  1. With nowhere else to go, blue-grey smoke rolled its way through the interior of the cabin. The haze floated languidly across the middle of the room, easing its way over an old table, across the curled edges of a lime-green countertop and into the kitchen. Spreading smoke almost obscured tongues of flames in a rough stone fireplace.
    A man coughed loudly as the door opened, ‘Oh god, the fucking chimney must be blocked.’

  3. James Baldwin's "Giovanni's Room" impressed me both for its exploration of love, sex, and sexual identity and for the skill with which the author has the narrative unfold; I was gripped from beginning to end.

    Although the protagonist is white, I know that some critics believe that the theme of race is obliquely present by virtue of the salience of various kinds of minority identity throughout the novel.

    Quite aside from it being a "good read", I would recommend it to anybody interested in the literary treatment of bisexuality.

    Expatriation also figures as an important theme. These words hit home with this migrant:

    >> You don't have a home until you leave it and then, when you have left it, you never can go back. <<

    "Home", of course, can be more than a geographical location.

  4. I am very humbled & proud to announce that once again, I have been short-listed for The Pearl Prize.

    It means a lot to be included alongside other LGBTQIA writers and explore elements of Queer experience. I especially enjoyed writing for this year's theme, 'Turning the names inside out', and I can't wait to share more.
