What are you currently reading?

For pleasure, I like historical fiction, especially historical mysteries. I have just finished a series of novels by C.J. Sansom that take place during the Tudor period. The first in the series is Dissolution, the last is Revelation. I also recently enjoyed The Sealed Letter, a  novel based on the true case of a Victorian divorce; it may not sound too exciting but, to use the cliche, it was "unputdownable."

What texts have you had the most fun researching?

The texts I enjoyed researching the most were a collection of e-mail correspondence between psychiatrists who acted as mentors to family practitioners with an interest in mental health issues. I was hired to tell them "what their discourse looked like." We published an article on the nature of this "novel network" in Academic Psychiatry, but my part of the research was reduced to generalities because, of course, it wasn't the focus of the article.

What would you be if you weren't an English professor?

If I weren't an English Professor, I would choose to be independently wealthy (I bet you've heard that line many times), not that being a sessional makes me "dependently" wealthy.
