Check out my fantasy horror fiction. War meets witchcraft. Soldiers meet ghosts. Perps pining for peace. Part 6 and 7 are not in paperback yet. So ebook readers get to know the plot first ✨ And possibly the ending 🧨
Women in Comics panel at @mcmcomiccon.bsky.social: Hags and witches are portrayed as ‘bad stepmothers’ and ‘stealers of youth’ (Snow White, Rapunzel). Why do women put up with this stereotype in folklore?

The Rise of Femgore panel at @mcmcomiccon.bsky.social panel: Femgore gives female authors a language for them to articulate their shame, anger and fear. The writing of brutal experiences aren't exclusive to male horror authors.

It’s ok for Beauty to fall for The Creature (Frankenstein). So why can’t a handsome man fall for a hag? Why do horror books glorify violence towards women? Authors at @mcmcomiccon.bsky.social discuss if femgore is the answer to misogynistic 'torture porn' horror.

27 Sept 2025, LAKAR. Glad to see poet Mohd Faiz again. Got to know the Perakians: poet Wang Tao, author Mamu MK Hasny. Got to see Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir, Minister of Higher Education Malaysia, (also Pangkor native) reciting poetry.

Homecoming, 27 Sept 2025. Did a reading of The Keeper Of My Kin at Laman Karya Lumut during a Perak Library poetry event. The bit about the were-tiger eating the soldiers during WW2. That's me dressed as one of the Radens (who can command 'servants' and turn into a tiger).

Had the pleasure of reading aloud Kitab Tamadun Cina at a mamak restaurant during Malaysia Week. Can't be any more Malaysian than that. It's hard & fun reading in Malay & doing the secular lectio divina in English. Thanks @robotforaday.bsky.social for the idea.
