I enjoyed chatting to the author @jgoldingauthor at the @Centre4Fantasy about #KingArthur, magic swords, and 10 years of the @TolkienLecture!
If you could have any magic sword, which would you pick? Maybe Percy Jackson's Riptide or Bilbo's Sting?

Where we are today is CV19 is forcing us to face the rotting foundations our modern world is built on- classism, racism, access to health care - "It really feels like the shire is burning" @kuangrf in the J.R.R Tolkien - Fantasy in a Time of Crisis Lecture.
😭She is not wrong!
