I haven't read this book yet, but she's always written in a way I aspired to, even when we were in college. Figured I'd link you here vs. FB in case it's a hard pass. But if you want me to make a connection I can.
Not sure if a connection helps. She's with the Big 5 and doing very well it looks like. Huge sales, great presence. If for some reason she wants to leave the Big 5 and get in bed with a small press I'm always available!

Falling Stars was great! Moving on to book three -- Burning Skies
And plowing into book four now! Breaking World
On to the final book! Raging Light.
And then I need to take a break from this author...wow.

I'm not sure it would be enjoyable if you don't know who she is (and certainly if you don't like her). So for me this was a terrific and powerful memoir!

Despite being hugely anti-Trump, the book does present the research, the quotes, and the facts and lets the reader make their own conclusions....which are horrifying.

This series was outstanding from start to finish. Simply amazing stuff and a very satisfying finale. A great way to start the new year!
