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…

I had a great time presenting on Time and Space in Stranger Things and Revelation #AARSBL23. But hands down my favourite part was meeting so many people in person finally!
