Ooo, I'm at the start of a ballet book project. But I can imagine the scores of fans out at Reddit who want to know just how f-ed up ballet dancers' toes get. Thank you for getting my publicity wheels turning at this early date!

Jennifer, you're so welcome. Yeah, Reddit really flies under the radar, but it's super interesting and high-potential. I don't know but would bet there's a romance angle. Let me know how it goes for you!

Super great (honest!) intel as usual - very well delivered and much appreciated. THIS is a keeper. And I would LOVE to read that deep dive into Mary Shelley's escapades. What I have read already is ... quite tantalizing, plus she herself is fascinating. Will be looking forward to that. Thanks for this Cat!

Sue, I sincerely look forward to your impressions as and when. It’s all a doozy, that’s for sure, and the research into historical notions of love and marriage is totally fascinating. I agree she’s incredibly interesting

Thank you for this un-overwhelming and helpful post. Sitting in a room with a fan on a summer day in Cape Town and feeling touched by your generosity.

...and by fan, I mean the rotating one, not the ones you mention! ;-))
