Former professor of Victorian literature but I'm much happier now as a novelist and memoirist based in Dunedin, NZ. Tangata tiriti.
Devoted to Dickens, Woolf, and Radiohead. Don't make me choose.

And an extra shout-out to Jessie Mills, for her novel 'Rosalind'.

I was researching the transcribed version of the 1851 UK census a few years back, and a man's occupation was recorded as "Hamster". When I looked up the handwritten original, alas, he was a "Barrister". Imagine my disappointment. 🫤
