I talked with @annehelen.bsky.social for Culture Study (are you subscribed yet?) about women's automobility, the impact of psychology on advertising, and how new car ads for women stack up against the kinds of ads I discuss in PINK CARS AND POCKETBOOKS!

In the time since my last book, WOMAN ENTERS LEFT, came out, I’ve been on a different writing adventure. Eight years and a doctorate in history later, I have a new book to offer you, one that veers from fiction, but keeps the storytelling and the history you know and love from my novels.
