300,000 THANKS
Last week, this blog surpassed 300,000 views from more than 83 nations (partial list shown).[1]
Since June of 2017, I started posting regularly on LinkedIn and by late 2018 switched to a blog format. The topic has usually been Shakespeare and Religion, especially Hamlet and the Bible.
My posts number 872 today, which includes around 20 multi-part series on various focused topics related mostly to Hamlet. [Link below to master index of series.] My current series is on Hamlet and the Ten Commandments.
I post usually once (or more) a week, and for their good example I am indebted to artists, poets and researchers who make their work a regular habit. They inspire me.
My degrees are in English Literature and Theology, with an MFA in English Literature and Creative Writing.
I have always loved Shakespeare.
Many, many thanks for your interest. I am grateful and humbled. ♥️💙💚💛🧡🙏

My current project is a book tentatively titled Hamlet’s Bible, about biblical allusions and plot echoes in Hamlet.
Below is a link to a list of some of what I described in 2019 as what were then my top posts (“greatest hits”), including a description of my book project (last item on the list):
