Hi, welcome to my blog. Here I post up short essays on literary matters, sometimes a review or an interview. I review regularly for The Herald and am the author of Between the Sheets: The Literary Liaisons of Nine 20th Century Women Writers (Overlook, 2010), The Picnic (Black and White, 2007) and Unfashioned Creatures (Saraband, 2013). I'm currently finishing a novel about Victorian Madeleine Smith, and researching a book about literary murderesses.
