Summary of People
This page is a temporary dump of the various people working the field that I have found information on. It will be improved in time.
Links to Books
Any links to books will point to Bookshop.org in order to promote the support of local bookshops. Please always do what you can to support businesses in your community when you can afford to. Remember those extra pounds and pennies you spend locally are more likely to come back your way compared to those that get absorbed by corporate behemoths. Also remember that your local library is an excellent resource, and if you live near a university, you may be able to access their libraries too, which could give you access to a greater array of academic texts. If, like me, you’re a fan of eBooks, Libby is a fantastic digital link to your local library!
