Pre-Order Now! Unbecoming a Woman: The Forgotten Shrews and Sluts that Shaped America
I’m so excited to introduce my third book of historical weirdness and wonder, Unbecoming a Lady, due in bookstores everywhere March 2024 and available for pre-order now!
Allow me to introduce you to 18 remarkable women who triggered change in the world, but did so in the wrong way.

| Just a near perfect ghost story. It's really hard to write a ghost story just fresh enough to keep a long time reader interested...there are only so many ways to manipulate the plot. Compton did a really good job marrying fresh and familiar with Spit ...more | |
