Hi readers! I'm the author of OUTSIDE WOMEN (University Press of Kentucky, March 2025), my debut novel. I was born in Pakistan and grew up in southern Africa. I worked on OUTSIDE WOMEN for a decade -- but in some ways, I’ve been writing the story in my head ever since my family first moved to South Africa. As a teenager, I became obsessed with Durban’s fascinating history.

My path to writing this novel has not been a straightforward one! I worked full time as a researcher for many years and wrote short stories at night and on weekends (and some lunch breaks). Now I work as a freelance writer, editor, and teacher.
