Big Easy Does It: 10 Historical Novels set in New Orleans There’s no other city like New Orleans. It’s a city that’s both incredibly alive and inexorably steeped in death.

BookRiot knows who I am!

Well, they know about my book.

THE PHYSICISTS' DAUGHTER is featured this week on this week's edition of Past Tense, BookRiot's newsletter for #historicalnovels. Thank you, @isabellepopp.bsky.social!

I was a child in the Seventies. This makes me wonder what was going on with our parents.

I'd love to be on the list, if you still have space.

Thanks, Wendall!

Good point!
