Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
to survive the phd and still maintain a life
ABOUT ME
I am researching/writing a phd in history on Britons in Serbia/Greece during the great war. I have wider research ambitions about anglo-jugoslav relations and Britons "abroad" in the 20th century... being an expat myself I am naturally interested in the subject! When I am not holed up in the british library reading room you can find me in the cafe hammering out my latest bodice-ripper project. I also work part time in children's publishing, helping to sell foreign rights.
PHILOSOPHY
I become more and more liberal with each passing year
