Today I went to a talk by Bette Bono, author of the 23rd book I read in 2019 The Better Angels.
Bette explained how discussions with her middle school classes gave her the idea for the book. After discussing such characters as Harry Potter and Percy Jackson, her students asked her what kind of superpower she would like to have.
She read page two from the book, which was the set-up--Aggie May is forced into retirement. She had no children, no grandchildren, no bucket list. What will she do as she comes of a new age?
Finally Bette shared some historic and modern photographs of locations that appear in her book.
I enjoyed her book and was happy to support her and hear that she is working on a sequel.
