Kate, I’ve read maybe 150 books since the start of the pandemic and Radium Girls is still my favourite. Such a sad and harrowing story, but immensely interesting and so well written and researched. Can’t wait for your next book!?

Hi Kim! Sorry for slow reply - I've not been able to work this summer so only catching up now! Thank you so much for your very kind comments about The Radium Girls. (And wow re 150 books - that's impressive! I can't believe my book is your favourite from all of those!)
I'm not sure if you've read The Woman They Could Not Silence yet, but that was the book I wrote and published after The Radium Girls. It has some similar themes so I hope you enjoy it if you read it. It tells the true story of an American housewife from the 1860s who is sent to an insane asylum by her husband just because she disagrees with him... As for a book after that, I'm currently researching possible ideas, so watch this space.
Wishing you much happy continued reading with the next 150 books!

Like many, I want to thank you for giving a voice to these women and their families. All because a rich man wanting to make himself richer. And the disregard for human life continued in Radium City! That poor town. My question: where do you get the most money when people buy your books in ebook form? I know stores take a portion of the sales and some stores take less than others. Thank you!

Thank you for writing this book. Years ago in the 1980s I took care of a patient who had been a radium dial painter and lost her arm in her 20s because of it. I always remembered her because it was such an unusual thing, and curiosity about others that did this kind of work led me to your book. I immediately recognized her. It was truly horrifying to see how many others were sick or died from dial painting. No ? here
