I am also the author of three books, as well as the Atavist hit My Mother’s Lover, the true strange story of my mother's secret wartime affair, which became a # 1 best-selling Kindle Single, and which readers of the longform publisher The Atavist selected as their favorite Atavist publication. You can keep track of me at Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, and Facebook.
