Movie idea: mom of a celiac kid in the 80s is distraught at lack of food options for her kids. Moves to California infiltrates the granola core community and invents gluten sensitivity

I saw Oppenheimer on the plane and I think it's pretty bad. Obviously incredibly well acted and shot, but so much of the movie feels like a series of thirty second vignettes. The score also intruded on the dialogue.

Back to proof-reading today, and I'm delighted to share the cover of my new book, featuring an angel with an arquebus. Out in April 2026.
