I wrote my first publication for a deeply noble and entirely relatable reason: I want to pay off my student debt. Hey, being honest here.

​

After four years on the market, it hasn't quite made me a millionaire. Apparently, the academic establishment gets deeply upset when a fiercely independent, non-university-affiliated Junior Historian swoops in and makes groundbreaking discoveries they somehow missed. That's me.

 

But facts are facts, and I don't deal in feelings.

​

If you are tired of the same old gatekept historical narratives about women and prefer your history served with hard reality, some sarcasm, a book that talks to you, not at you, and if you want to support an independent writer's quest to defeat the final boss of student loan debt—then you have found exactly the right book.

 

Buy a copy, feed your brain, and help me stick it to the department of education.
