NOW AVAILABLE: The House of Ash (print and e-book)
My newest gothic horror novella is now out (woot!). 'The House of Ash' is a standalone vampire fiction book that's set in an AU Victorian England. There's a romantic subplot in the book, but the primary focus is the family matriarch and her efforts at protecting her blind grandson.

“No Romanticist or Victorianist can excuse an ignorance of Scott. Back then, everybody read him. He was the first global superstar of the novel.”

First up,
“Everything Remains the Same”: Julio Camba Travelling Spain
by David Miranda-Barreiro
Abstract
In the first decades of the twentieth century, the Madrid-based Galician journalist Julio Camba (1882–1962) acquired long-lasting fame as a travel writer thanks to his foreign chronicles published in the Spanish press and subsequently compiled in a series of volumes. [...] Drawing on studies on state nationalism (Billig 1995) and Spanish nationalism (Taibo 2014, Delgado 2014) this article examines not only Camba’s own views but the response from contemporary scholarship to his texts.
This leaves me with just my own #introduction to the whole special issue.
Abstract
This introduction to the MLO special issue “Minoritised Languages and Travel” provides an overview of the pieces in this collection in context with historical travel accounts in German about nineteenth-century Wales.
Happy reading, y'alls. (For convenience, I will later post the link to the complete bundle.)
