The literary magazine [PANK] asked some smart questions during a Q&A interview about Her Own Vietnam. This was the final stop on my virtual book tour, and I was thrilled to be hosted by the magazine that’s edited by “Bad Feminist” Roxane Gay.

Vietnam Veterans of America – Book Review

I’ve been a little nervous about how my novel will be received by Vietnam veterans. After all, I have never served and have no first-hand knowledge of what the Vietnam war experience was like for a nurse or anyone else.
So I was thrilled and relieved when Her Own Vietnam received a positive review from the national magazine of the Vietnam Veterans of America. Reviewer David Willson wrote, “This novel is one of the best books about nurses in Vietnam.”

A book is born!
Today is the official birthday of Her Own Vietnam, known in literary parlance as the pub date, release date or launch date.
Why so many candles? Because it took me so many years to write the book.

Most of all
Most of all, what happens when a book is launched is that people start to read it. (At least I fervently hope so.) People I know, who will read it out of kindness or to see what the heck I’ve been up to all this time. People I don’t know. People who will have their own opinions and perspectives.
Maybe even you.
Her Own Vietnam belongs to you now. I hope you two will be very happy together.
