The life of a writer can be daunting on so many levels -- the writing itself, for one thing, and then the business of getting published and getting your book into the hands of readers. You need a tough skin and a willingness to keep tackling the hard tasks, the hard questions, even when you don't feel like it. And having fellow writers with you along the way -- a trusted beta reader, a critique group, an online forum -- makes the journey possible. Ups and downs are both better when you can share them.(less)

Do you wish that there was more documentation on Kate Warne's life, or were you glad for the opportunity to write her story as you imagined it?
Greer Macallister Selfishly, because I'm a novelist and not a nonfiction writer, the gaps in the historical record created a wonderful, inspiring space for me to fill! …moreSelfishly, because I'm a novelist and not a nonfiction writer, the gaps in the historical record created a wonderful, inspiring space for me to fill! But I still wish her life were better documented. It would be great if more people knew about her, and the people whose stories are written down just have a natural advantage in history. Thanks for the great question! (less)

wild Gilded Age women at The Nerd Daily!

Had a great time writing about wild women of the Gilded Age for the Nerd Daily. Obviously Aimee Crocker, the subject of The Thirteenth Husband, was wilder than most, but she was far from the only woman standing out for breaking rules during those days.

“You want to set me free? Do it. You want to turn me in? You can do that too. You're the only one with the choice. And that bullet in your back doesn't mean you've got any less choice than you ever did. Live free of fear if you want to. We all carry something inside us that could kill us; yours just has a name. You want to change your life? Change it. You have no less of a right to be happy than the rest of us.”
