Yes, a next book is in the works. All I can say is that it's a nonfiction book about a Cold War defector CIA had in place for three years behind the Iron Curtain. COVID has slowed research b/c the Archives have been closed but I have about 2,000 recently released documents from the Polish Secret Police archives to keep me busy! I'm very excited about it.

I rarely check goodreads myself - but maybe just drop a copy of your Hall of Mirrors to RB at Stage 32? He is a very zealous entrepreneur in the screenplay realm! I read the Nightengale and was annoyed at its length ~ your story has more meat and fewer pages!!! address I found for physical mail is 232 28th St Manhattan Beach, CA 90266

I don't know how it is for you but I find the best part of writing a book is the actual writing and connecting with people. Marketing is important but I find it somewhat deadening!

I hope your own writing is going well . . .(less)

Virginia Hall: Honoring Women’s History Month

A Thought for Women’s History MonthIt’s sad that we have to have a “special” Women’s History Month to honor women’s accomplishments, but their contributions–like those of other marginalized citizens– have been ignored, neglected, and down-played for centuries.When thinking about Virginia Hall’s special contribution, I think of how gender and disability discrimination narrowed her opportunities–and Read more of this blog post »
