Lundensian. Ugaritologist, Hebraist, Semitist. Moonlighting IE-ist. Author. PhD/Reader, ex Pro Futura fellow (Uppsala/Cambridge). Ordained in a rare religion.
Updated list of my books, so far (thread)! First: Unburning Fame: Horses, Dragon, Beings of Smoke, and Other Indo-European Motifs in Ugarit and the Hebrew Bible (2017) and Drought, Death, and the Sun in Ugarit and Ancient Israel: A Philological and Comparative Study (2014)


With heart-thumping excitement, I can now share the cover for my book, published by @BlinkPublishing and @bonnierbooks_uk! I love the cover and its endorsement from a beknighted reviewer, who also called it "a wonderful achievement" and "just couldn't recommend it more highly".
The one person who could manage to rhyme "Shevues" with "East Saint Louis". What a guy.
Rest in Peace, Master. Tom Lehrer, that is.
