Teaching former slaves in 1862, Laura Towne wonders if she is really free since she can neither vote nor sit on a jury. Utah first state to allow women on juries in 1898. Right to vote not until 1920 with 19th Amendment. a.co/d/bttGS1c #WomensHistory #HistoricalFiction

I met Dorothy B. Hughes, one of our greatest suspense novelists years ago. She "firmly believed if you've got something good enough you will get published." Read her Ride the Pink Horse or The Expendable Man-classics of suspense. amazon.com/dp/B0FC1TK1JT #Authorscommunity

Took me almost 20 years to get published. Perseverance. Sanora Babb's manuscript "Whose Names Are Unknown" was completed in 1939. Not published until 2004. Reason: Editor feared overlap with Steinbeck's "Grapes of Wrath." amazon.com/dp/B0FC1TK1JT #authorscommunity #WLCAuthor

Worried that my debut historical novel was too short at 57,000 words. Did research. Felt better. The Great Gatsby (47,094) The Stranger (32,820) The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (41,325) One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich (52,000). amazon.com/dp/B0FC1TK1JT #Authorscommunity

@EmilyMaxwell Dear Emily, Thank you so much for this gratifying review. It took me almost 20 years to find a publisher, in the UK no less. I am so grateful for your thoughtful comments.

Storyteller, a new biography of Robert Louis Stevenson by Leo Damrosch reviewed in WSJ. One of my favorite authors. "He treated adjectives as enemies, relying instead on verbs to produce what Mr. Damrosch calls "his vivid evocation of motion and sound." #HistoricalFiction
