My doctor just told me about the 12th century physicians of Salerno: the usual Greek/Latin men plus Jews, Muslims, and women! They pooled their knowledge and practiced science-based medicine. BUT then they disappeared. Gotta be a story there. #mswl #historicalfiction or #NF

If someone is writing a nonfiction science narrative that incorporates glowing squirrels and platypuses, I'm here for that. #mswl #Anich #glowinganimals

The SFF book I just can't stop thinking/talking about: The Bird King by G. Willow Wilson. She is a masterful storyteller. Anything similar to this type Muslim fantasy is on my #mswl. #FridayReads goodreads.com/blog/show/1652…

I agree with @MrGrahamMoore. A Westinghouse biography would be just the ticket. #lastdaysofnight #mswl

It's been a long hiatus, but I'm reopening to unsolicited fiction on February 1. I've updated my #MSWL and hope to see lots of stories that sidestep into magic, mystery, horror, or adventure in my inbox next month! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/alic…

I'm also craving a clever middle grade mystery a la Flavia de Luce. #mswl
