my interview from MCM Comic Con London x @EGX with the #Uncharted cast is now live! as someone who's loved the games for so long, this has been such a privilege! link below:

"I hope what doesn’t happen is that we lose the humanity [in making games] because I think that that’s what made #Uncharted and other games in this genre so amazing." - Uncharted Actor, Emily Rose cgmagonline.com/interviews/unc…

This is brilliant and true! The Gatewatch is one of the few (or perhaps only!) novel that made me feel like I was discovering a world akin to Tolkien's! Made me love fantasy novels again! Congratulations @JoshMGillingham !

Received a lovely bit of fan mail proclaiming that, in their estimation, The Gatewatch is "on par with The Hobbit", to which I'm both stunned and flattered. If you're looking for Tolkien-y vibes in a more Norse setting this fall, settle down with The Gatewatch and a cup of mead!

Would anyone be interested in writing a book chapter on disability and warfare in ancient history video games for a companion I’m editing? Happy to chat about it if you have questions. #archaeogaming


After nearly 10 years of higher education, I have discovered the shortcut for adding a footnote in MS Word. My shout of excitement scared some seagulls off the roof. It's the small things, people.
