Thank you so much. You're very kind! Writing this book really pushed me to my intellectual limits. And a lot of it was written during lockdown, when I was also trying to homeschool. So my brain was kind of fried. I'm writing a kids' science fiction novel at the moment but I'm also the primary homemaker right now so that's proving... distracting.

I won't say too much about it but in some ways it would be similar to 'The Man from the Future'--it follows the birth and influence of a scientific idea, and looks at the stories of all those involved and dissects how it came to be.
