I consider myself somewhat of a serial corporate rut absconder because a sabbatical that was to last a year, has turned to eight, and I still see no end in sight. Before that, I worked in the Financial Services Industry. When I’m not writing, I’m fussing in my head, over ideologies of social justice and equality, with superhero twists! My stories and poems have appeared in The Rumen, Sequoia Speaks, Recesses, Every Day Fiction, Blaze Vox and Double Speak magazines. My poem, “Veins” was long listed in the Plough 2023 poetry competition. Books: The Girl with the Paisley Dupatta - (short stories) Shimmering Scraps of Poetry and Madness - (Poetry and essays) Curious Animals and Quirky Creatures - (Children’s Series) https://www.facebook.com/Mahvash.Moht/
