Please join me in supporting a change.org petition, "Quash the conviction of Florence Chandler Maybrick." https://chng.it/7QNW6TzzQm
#FlorenceMaybrick

Florence was an unjustly imprisoned American woman who spent 15 years in British gaols.

My 8-years-long Work-In-Progress, a 200K-word biography of Florence, is titled, "Death of the Cat Lady."
I would love to connect with #literaryagents & #SmallPublishers interested in #historical #biographies of #AmericanWOMEN .

Quash the conviction of Florence Chandler Maybrick

Lots of #BannedBooks and #OutOfPrintBooks on the #InternetArchive. This isn't about #copyright -- this is about #censorship! There are only FIVE major publishers in the US -- and they keep trying to merge to create even bigger #monopolies! Often, big publishing companies buy out #IndependentPublishers and #SmallPublishers, so they can stop printing their books!
