We just found my little brother's Goodreads account from 2008. Imagine someone reviews your debut novel and it's this specimen #writingcommunity #goodreads #writesky

I'm fascinated by the generations that pass between the paragraphs of history. For example, Mesolithic foraging cultures coexisted in an uneasy balance with early Neolithic farmers, retreating beyond a buffer of a day's travel. From arm's length they traded, intermarried, and raided for generations.

Some Stone Age cultures burned their homes and everything inside every 80 years or so, sometimes even entire settlements, only to be rebuilt and destroyed again. What could have driven them to set fire to everything they owned? Maybe disease, or maybe rituals. Which means "ghosts" in anthro nerd

Watching this author celebrate her successful debut has been a treat
