I love the name of your dog, Bonnie. And really liked Six-Thirty and so happy you let him stay!! I also very much loved your novel- Lessons in Chemistry and would like to read more of your books past and present. Can you give me names of any of them so I may get them? My daughter was born in 1960 and eventually graduated with a degree in chemistry--so I can relate along with your story. Keep up the great work .

Thank you, Carol! I really appreciate your kind words. Lessons in Chemistry is my first published novel, but I'm currently working away on another. And I'm so glad to hear your daughter graduated with a degree in chemistry! Amazing!

In your research for Lessons in Chemistry, did you run across my aunt, Dr Gertrude Belle Elion, a chemist who won the Nobel in the 1980s? Your main character parallels so much of what she faced. https://www.acs.org/education/whatischemistry/women-scientists/gertrude-elion.html
