Today I’m doing my first ever Naomi/Ada co-presentation at an academic event! It’s called: ‘“Too Little, Too Soon”: creating an Edwardian queer music hall love story for a twenty-first century cabaret’
 
Biggest thanks to Hannah Scott Oskar Jensen for the invitation 😃

It's finally here! Let there be merriment, let there be song, let there be jollity from Oskar Jensen, Jennifer Reid, Patricia Hammond, Dr Naomi Paxton....

Hello Australia!

You'll never look at street the same way again!
Read my book review of Vagabonds: Life on the Streets of Nineteenth-Century London by Oskar Jensen at Washington Independent Review of Books (then get yourself a copy...it's tremendous!) washingtonindependentreviewofbooks.com/bookreview/vag…

What everyone's going to call the definitive Measure for Measure is out now! For converting cups to millilitres it's pretty useless, but for presenting and contextualising one of THE great plays, it's a doozy...

Today, BookPegged reviews Oskar Jensen's 'delightful,' memorable VAGABONDS: LIFE ON THE STREETS OF NINETEENTH-CENTURY LONDON (The Experiment): washingtonindependentreviewofbooks.com/bookreview/vag…

Two fabulous books spotted in the wild - well, Waterstone's Watford

#HelleandDeath by Oskar Jensen

The bells! THE BELLS!

This beautiful #song for #April by Eliza Flower, published in 1834, still feels fresh and original, heralding hope for the future in the renewal of #spring

Genuinely gobsmacked by this write-up in the new Literary Review. literaryreview.co.uk/fake-it-till-y… A good week for reviews! Here's the gist:

Just when I was in desperate need of something gripping, fun, and absorbing to read, look what came scuttling in through the door from Janice Hallett ...

It’s hardback *and* audiobook publication day for THE BOOK FORGER. Thank you to the brilliant, brilliant people at Chatto&Windus, who have turned my wacky idea for a bibliographical true crime story into a real book with weight and heft. They're the best. x.com/JosephHone_/st…

Have your pencils at the ready, author proofs of Janice Hallett’s #TheExaminer have landed Viper Books’ Towers.

Mischief, murder and the occasional scorpion on the most eventful art course in history.

Turn your papers over. Your time starts now…

I’m going to be insufferable this week: because THE BOOK FORGER comes out on Thursday!! Order it now and you’ll have 321 pages of bookish skulduggery and detection to enjoy over the weekend. Some early praise (my ego needs it): x.com/JosephHone_/st…

SATURDAY DRAW: Today we're giving away our early copy of Helle & Death by Oskar Jensen - be in it to win it: facebook.com/CrimeFictionLo…

All the 🙌 whoops + hollers + congratulations for Heather!!!! Very well deserved!

A lovely stack of Viper Books at #LBF24 this morning, and an outsized Janice Hallett.

I enjoyed doing this so much! ❤️🖤💛

Fabulous to see this from Harlow Museum & Walled Gardens today in their Remarkable Women exhibition for #InternationalWomensDay2024 with a little help from electricvoicetheatre Conway Hall and Oskar Jensen Eliza Flower is back in #harlow for all to see 🥳🎉

Vagabonds gets reviewed in the Wall Street Journal!

Although, um, best not read beyond the paywalled section, it's not a pretty sight ...
