Historian, cemetery enthusiast,
For #hatm participants any advice for someone undertaking the idea of writing a book. Looking for someone who wouldn't mind being an online mentor. I work on memory and historic cemeteries.

My early morning runs in Washington, DC always include a swing around the tidal basin for a quick stop at the Thomas Jefferson Memorial. It’s one of my favorite memorials in our nation’s capital.
