I’m at the airport en route to #EABSBL, so it feels like the perfect time to send a copy of my book, Reimaging the Magdalene, on a journey too!

💛 like and 🔁 RT and I’ll draw a winner on the feast of Mary Mag (22/07, heathens)

Let’s see where it ends up…

#TolkienTuesday #TolkienTrewsday "Fan Art"

So hey! I'm looking for some cool art to use for the cover of an upcoming book on Tolkien and Religion/Spirituality. I'd be especially curious to see some non-Western, non-Christian iconography. Whatcha got for me, Bluesky?
