From the Beginner's Pluck feature in the Irish Examiner, 27 August 2016, by Sue Leonard.

Edge of Heaven will launch as part of the Belfast Book Festival 2016 on 10 June 2016 at the Crescent Arts Centre 2-4 University Road, Belfast. All welcome!

A proud author shows off her latest work!

Mark Antony and Popular Culture: Masculinity and the Construction of an Icon is now available from I.B. Tauris. Based on Rachael's doctoral thesis, the book looks at the enduring legacy of one of ancient Rome's most famous sons and asks why the man who almost ruled the world is remembered today as a drunk and a dilettante - the man who threw away an empire for love. Combining ancient history and modern film and television, Mark Antony and Popular Culture will change the way you look at history's most notorious lover!

"Kelly's brilliant new work is quite simply a tour de force" - Monica S Cyrino, University of New Mexico.

"At last - an original and engaging assessment of Mark Antony s place in popular culture" - Maria Wyke, University College London.
