Researching 1969
My third novel, not in the TSTR series, is set in 1969, an amazing and tumultuous year. So I’m researching.

On the Road

Did you know?
The first landing of men on the moon and Woodstock took place within one month of each other in 1969? July and August. With the Manson murders in between! TSTR3 begins around this time.
