SOCIAL DISTANCING



Lately, I’ve been re-reading several historical romances and mysteries, both in books and on Kindle. Currently though, I’m reading a good, new contemporary novel. It just dawned on me that as I've been reading, I've been actively wondering why these people aren’t keeping a safe distance from one another as they should. Good grief, it’s fiction, not real life! I had to laugh at myself.

O.k., I think the current practice of social distancing has become a norm for me. I’m wondering how authors are going to handle storylines set in these first months of 2020, and I’m thinking that they just might not want to refer to this time at all. Are there any stories that were set in the time of the Spanish flu?
