Hi and thank you for your friend req! Will check out something of yours soon.
Pleasure to have made your acquaintance, Cory. Thank you for the kind words. My book is about choices, consequences and the complexities of human emotions. It's actually on the opposite extreme of science. I'll keep you updated once it comes out.Enjoy your day,
Nesly
Thanks for becoming a Goodreads friend! I can't wait to see how you book does, sounds like your science background might give you a unique perspective.Have a great day,
Cory
