Writing a new lecture on 1890s women poets and it is WAY too long. How can I do justice to May Kendall, Dollie Radford (pictured), Amy Levy, Nora Hopper and E. Nesbit in 50 mins?? Send help!

What a wonderful feeling – it’s publication day for my book on Marie Corelli! Thanks to my amazing editors @helenaifill.bsky.social and Janine Hatter for all their support. I’m so proud to be a contributor to their series on Key Popular Women Writers. @vpfa.bsky.social @lboroenglish.bsky.social

The cover for Marie Corelli by Joanna Turner. It depicts an image of a woman in Victorian dress, standing on a rock and pointing out to sea. Her hair is blowing in the breeze.

Bestselling novelist Marie Corelli was born today in 1854 as Caroline Cody. It’s a great day to perform a cover reveal for my volume of the @vpfa.bsky.social Key Popular Women Writers series on Corelli—out VERY soon. I am incredibly excited for it to be out in the world! @lboroenglish.bsky.social

A book cover image for the Key Popular Women Writers volume on Marie Corelli written by Joanna Turner. It depicts a painting of a woman standing on a rock, the sea and vast sky behind her. She points into the distance, winking, with the wind blowing her dark hair. She is dressed in a long skirt, blouse, and scarf, and wears boots

As I'm sure you're aware, the fifth of January is the day of the Schnabelperchten, a creature of Austrian folklore who will check your house for cleanliness. If they decide you haven't done a good enough job, they'll slit open your belly and fill it with straw. Happy New Year..!

A copy of Tales Accursed a Folk Horror anthology defaced with a pen illustration of the Schnabelperchten.

The Schnabelperchten sat at a spotlessly clean kitchen table.
