My conversation with Verena in episode 119 of her podcast, "Sunday Tea with V," is now live. I thoroughly enjoyed talking with her about writing my two historical novels, Marriage & Hanging, and Thea!

I saw the book discussed in this fascinating article in @theguardian.com:

I’m glad to hear someone else refer to Shelley as a cad!

Genevieve Morrissey @glmorrissey.bsky.social · Jan 20

I’ve just ordered this book & am very much looking forward to reading it!

The head of Mary Shelley - created for the front cover of our new book book Mary Shelley in Bath. We commissioned the art work from 3D illustrator Eleanor Macnair who modelled Mary’s head in play doh then disassembled it after photography. It seemed an apt creative process! #booksky 💙📚 #frankenstein
