It was an absolute pleasure to work on this edited collection with @RoisinFlood and all the wonderful contributors, and a privilege to launch it, hot off the press, at Lesbian Lives last night.
So thrilled that my new co-edited book with @AmyToothMurphy Queering Desire is now out in the world! Just in time for a book launch at the Lesbian Lives conference tonight. Check out the cover featuring a painting by amazing artist Sadie Lee. #QueeringDesire
