Things dug up during research can be haunting. And so can the feelings of inadequacy...and of having your book out in the world for people to comment on....That said, if you've read HEARTLAND, I welcome reviews. A sentence or two is enough! Thx! @steelworksliterary.bsky.social #farming #environment
