My wife, Denise Kiernan, did a fun interview last week with Eastern Panhandle Talk, the morning talk radio and TV show for WRNR in Martinsburg, WV. It’s a full 30-minute chat, mostly on the topic of The Girls of Atomic City, her 2013 bestselling book.
The book has garnered some fresh attention since the release of the Oppenheimer movie earlier this summer. She had a great time talking via phone with the three hosts, one of whom is fellow New York Times bestselling author, John Gilstrap.
I hope you’ll check out the interview. We are hoping Denise can join the guys for an in-studio visit in the fall to celebrate the launch of the Young Readers Edition of her book, We Gather Together.
The Girls of Atomic City tells the story of young women who unknowingly worked on the Manhattan Project. Many did not discover the truth—that they were enriching uranium—until after the first bomb was dropped on Japan in 1945. (Click book cover image to learn more or order the book.)
Oh—and if you haven’t pre-ordered Denise’s upcoming book, what are you waiting for? (Click book cover image to learn more and pre-order.)
