In my own writing, I like to turn anxiety into bleak humour. I love writing about flawed characters, flailing relationships, and people who are struggling in general. My second novel, AND HOW ARE THINGS WITH YOU, is due from Mākaro Press in September 2026, in time for World Suicide Prevention Day. My London/Paris-based novel (Viking & Penguin Books UK) was described by Bidisha as ‘Seinfeld meets Dorothy Parker’. I’ve always enjoyed (eavesdropping and) creating ‘dialogue with a disconnect’. My first piece of fiction was a play, ‘The Only Thing in Common’, about a couple that simultaneously stab each other in the back. I wrote it when I was 12, and it was televised by South Pacific Television in Aotearoa NZ. This early interest in writing was no doubt sparked by having seen aspects of myself and other family members typed up on an Olivetti typewriter and turned into short stories and novels by my mother, NZ author Marilyn Duckworth. As a result of this insider-view, I have a particular interest in the fluid boundary between fiction and nonfiction. When I was a teenager I visited my mother during her Katherine Mansfield Fellowship, at Villa Isola Bella, in Menton, France, where my passion for writing (and French literature) grew. I moved to France in my twenties; became London-based in my thirties; and had my first novel published by Penguin Books UK in my forties.
