Picture of the cover of my novella-in-flash Mother Karma. Ochre yellow background with a line drawing of a woman with a bindi and her hair in a bun holding a baby. The lettering is “Mother Karma a Novella-in-flash” above the picture and below the picture Sumitra Singam (which is me, that is my name. On the cover of an actual BOOK)

The detail of the landscapes I grew up with add an irreplaceable core of truth to even the most surreal of my tales. This is Western Australia. My stories live here.
