Welcome history lovers!
I hope you’re all having a wonderful time as autumn creeps in (in the northern hemisphere at least).
During the month of October, I am preparing to write and publish my new serial novel, which will be available on Substack exclusively from 14th November. Details below…
During this time, instead of fiction instalments, I’m sharing additional ‘content’ (eurgh! that word!) that wouldn’t usually make it to the stack. A sort of BTS, more chatty vibe. The usual service of two fiction instalments per month will return in November.
I thought it would be fun to take you with me on my DPhil induction, earlier this month. Many of you know that I am beginning a DPhil in Archaeology, researching early medieval women. I am so, so excited!
This was the first video of this sort I’ve done - and I must say, hats off to the content creators (eurgh! again!) on YouTube for making it look so effortless. I was so embarrassed to get my phone out and film myself walking and talking, though I know that would have improved the video. I will try to be more confident next time!
For now, I hope you enjoy this glimpse into my life off Substack! Do let me know if this is something you’d be interested in seeing more of.
All the best as always,
Holly
