It's spooky month, so OUP made the first chapter of my #Buddhism book, Of Ancestors and Ghosts, free to read for the month of October. This chapter traces the origin of the #hungryghost and, with it, Buddhist cosmology. Link here: academic.oup.com/book/58038/chapter/477477607

It's official, Of Ancestors and Ghosts is now released! This #Buddhism book traces the origin of the "hungry" ghost and, with it, Buddhist cosmology. It then turns to what ghosts tell us about karma, ethics, and human embodiment. global.oup.com/academic/pro...

My book has arrived! And just in time for Nashville's Vietnamese celebration of the ghost festival. It's so cool and surreal to be finally holding this in my hands. (+ obligatory cat, she likes being included)

Checking proofs is a good time to introduce my new friend. Her name is Rekha, AKA Charlie Catlin, and dont be fooled by her cuteness because she's an absolute menace.

On my desk this week: the proofs for my book coming out this August! If you're a fan of gross ghost stories (or ghost-human relationships) the book is available for pre-order: global.oup.com/academic/pro...

New social media account. Maybe it's time to rebrand and turn it into a cat account? (Except I almost exclusively take unflattering photos)
