HER HIDDEN GENIUS
Greetings Goodreads Readers!
As a writer of historical fiction about women who’ve left crucial legacies, I am often asked the following question: who are you writing about next? Given that I have a long list of women from the past whose stories deserve to be told, this can be tough to answer depending on where I am in the writing process. But not right now. I can’t wait for you to read HER HIDDEN G Read more of this blog post »

Thank you for accepting my friend request. I am humbled. I love your books 💕 After Reading The Personal Librarian, I ordered An Illuminated Life: Belle da Costa Greene's Journey from Prejudice to Privilege, from the Morgan Library to read even more about extraordinary Belle de la Costa Greene. With Her Hidden Genius, I then ordered The Secret of Life: Rosalind Franklin, James Watson, Francis Crick, and the Discovery of DNA's Double Helix. Thank you for bringing such strong women to life. I am looking forward to starting The Mitford Affair. Also, thank you for your recommendations, especially Allison Pataki, who is a new author for me.
My very best to you and love of writing and reading 📚
Thank you Marie for accepting my friend request on Goodreads.Here's to a happy holiday season for you.
