I try to write POV in creative writing but seem to be the only one in the group,sigh. Well, when Six- Thirty started to talk I was thrilled ! I am going to recommend Lessons to my CW tutor. She recommended Terry Pratchett for me . I am reading so many books at once but love Discworld the most for spirit lifting. Sort of amazing that Pratchett was a(n?) Humanist and so am I . And Elizabeth ... Next one... pleeease?

Hi Nancy-- so good to hear you're trying different POVs! As for my next book, it's not Elizabeth Zott, but I hope you'll like it anyway. Thanks for writing.

I am the administrator for a reading group in the Los Angeles area called The Bookie Babes. We have been together for years. This month we read Lessons in Chemistry and all 12 members gave it thumbs up. We had a rousing discussion. I personally loved so many things: the characters, the story, the mystery and the unabashedly feminist approach! Thank you for such a wonderful read. Will you publish another novel?

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
