Baltimore: Don't miss KSU Press author @ninamandell.bsky.social, in conversation with @chriskorman.bsky.social, at the Ivy Bookshop on Monday, June 8. They'll talk about Mandell's new book "A Fraction of a Point"—seen in Bustle, Defector, the Guardian, and more!
I just learned that my book, "Pity, Power, and Tolkien's Ring: To Rule the Fate of Many," (The Kent State University Press 2023) is a finalist for the 2026 "Mythopoeic Scholarship Award for Inklings Studies" at The Mythopoeic Society.
I am flattered to be in such company. Best wishes to all!
