#HistoryWritersDay24 Kind of thing I do…
#HistoryWritersDay24 I'm a non-fiction writer. A book, a couple of book chapters, numerous articles… The more I know a subject, harder it is to tolerate #HistoricalFiction on it: someone else's imagination coming btwn me & subject; inaccuracies/manipulation for effect.
Fun fact: Lila Lee (played by Jayne Meadows) was inspired by real-life cosmetics mogul Mary Kay Ash! While Mary Kay's brand was famous for its pink cars, Lila Lee used lilac as her signature color. #MurderSheWroteTrivia #HistoryWritersDay24
