With many election losses, and disappointing politicians (cough cough Platner), there have been many disappointments in the last few decades. This is my take on them, from a COVID era memoir.

Hello #WeeknightWriters! I have written a novel about a professor who is forced to live out the lives of her ancestors. Currently querying, but find it difficult to pitch a novel that straddles science and historical fiction, which may not have overlapping audiences.
