Thank you for tuning in to my blog. If you’re a fan of Fantasy fiction, you’re in the right place. I investigate, devour, and live Fantasy fiction. And as I explore my bookshelves and re-read old favourites, forgotten friends, and greet new ones, I would like to invite you on the journey.
This month I’m writing a blog series covering study tips and other useful resources for university students and researchers at any level. Feel free to share with your colleagues if you find any of these useful as a studying or teaching aid.
Head over to About if you’d like more information on the type of content you can expect to find in my posts, or want to hear more about me and my writing background.
