When do you expect to be finished with your book on the Schuyler Sisters? Thanks.

Jason, my apologies for letting your question go unanswered— 11 months ago I wasn’t checking my mail for Goodreads alerts, I was wondering if I was going to be dead from Covid. Not really kidding. The past year has been very difficult in terms of recalibrating expectations... among them estimates of when I’d be done with the Schuylers. And the pandemic, and the social and political turmoil of the past year, made me revise some of my ideas of how to write the Schuylers’ narrative. I’m happy to say I found what I THINK is the right voice for the book and am at last (after amassing a mountain of research) making real progress. I *hope* to complete the manuscript this summer. There’s so much more here than I thought, and it makes me very excited. Thanks for your question!

Enjoyed Hotel Florida. You mentioned Gerda Taro had a boy friend Will Chardack. I worked with a Dr. William Chardack at the Buffalo VA. He was famous as the first person to implant a permanent pacemaker in a human. He was the right age. I'm trying to find out more about him. His obit didn't mention anything about his background. Any sources? Thank you. Ross McRonald MD
