A Sri Lankan writer of (mostly) children’s fiction. My new book, 'Mary Anning’s Grewsome Beasts,' is about the famous paleontologist and her discoveries. It's for kids who don't mind dirt under their fingernails. My books for Think Equal are used in their global SEL curriculum and one 6-year-old said they’re pretty not-bad. 'Podi', A middle-grade graphic novel I co-wrote is due from Oni Press (2023). 'Metta Helmet,' with art by Isuri Dayaratne, appeared in the Eisner and Ignatz Award-winning anthology, 'Elements: Fire'. I wrote an overview of Sri Lankan art and design for the Bloomsbury Encyclopaedia of Asian Design. To recover, I made a 50-page absurdist comic about time, soup and god. It’s called 'Wait Non Anon' and you can read it for free, but it’s quite odd: https://tinyurl.com/9pczhm6y
