"There's as much, if not more, fascination with First Ladies than with their presidential spouses, and Feather Schwartz Foster has done a great job of telling their stories in "Mary Lincoln's Flannel Pajamas." Feather has found some lesser-told stories, and tells them in a highly readable and entertaining way. This is a very enjoyable book and it makes me eager for her next book as well. Congratulations to Feather! " 
-Paul Brandus, White House correspondent for West Wing Reports and author of "Under This Roof: The Presidency and the White House."

MARGARET FIELAND INTERVIEW (guest blogger)

When did you first know you were destined to be a writer? LOL, I never realized I was destined to be a writer -- I fell into it. I'd written poetry for years, collecting it in notebooks stacked in my attic when I wrote one I wanted to keep. This led me to several online sites and ultimately to discovering the Muse Online Writers Conference where I hooked up with Linda Barnett Johnson and joined her writers forums. She required everyone to write both fiction and poetry, so, with much trepidation, I started writing fiction. Then I got hooked on it, wrote a chapter book, took the ICL course and actually learned how to write it. Then in 2010, I was seized by a desire to write a sci fi novel, so I spent six weeks or so on world building, mostly, with a bit of plotting thrown in for good measure. Who would you cite as your influences? I'm a way-back sci-fi fan, and Robert A. Heinlein influenced me heavily. I took a lot away from his writing, notably the value of surpris...

When speaking about a person in the singular, use only the name Jones. However, when speaking about a group of girls all named Jones, you would write that sentence: The Jones girls . Notice that the name stays...
