Thanks very much to The Next Best Book Club Blog, who featured my essay on Growing Up in the Atomic City today on their blog, with the Indie feature “Why I Wrote The Robot Scientist’s Daughter” (available for pre-order now from Mayapple Press, release date March 2015!)
Here’s what TNBBC folks had to say: “Here at TNBBC, we love to tug at the sleeves of the authors who pitch us, suggesting they tell us the story behind the books they wrote, the inspiration for it…The essay I’m about to share with you, by Jeannine Hall Gailey, author of the upcoming collection of poems titled The Robot Scientist’s Daughter, is probably by far the most sad and lovely, and also probably my most favorite. Read it to find out why.”
Thanks guys!
