For @vpfa.bsky.social’s recent Online Study Day @hannaharmour.bsky.social and @jnam.bsky.social had the opportunity to present their respective research on Le Fanu’s “The Watcher” and on Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories.
Many thanks to the organisers for coordinating such an inspiring event!
Bestselling novelist Marie Corelli was born today in 1854 as Caroline Cody.
It’s a great day to perform a cover reveal for my volume of the @vpfa.bsky.social Key Popular Women Writers series on Corelli—out VERY soon. I am incredibly excited for it to be out in the world! @lboroenglish.bsky.social
