I consider the children’s novel I wrote that year to be “practice” and although it will never be published, it kept me on the path, kept me writing. I was going to teach them everything I knew about writing, and they in turn would help me to become a better writer. I told my students we were going to write up a storm that year. I tinkered with writing while teaching, holding administrative positions, and getting my masters, but it wasn’t until I moved to Maine and returned to the classroom as first grade teacher, that I became determined to write a children’s book. While an undergrad at Lesley College, I took a course in children’s literature and fell in love with the genre. I kept a diary since the age of nine, and I won the Edith Bird Bass Essay Contest as a senior in high school in my hometown of Peterborough, NH.

Roy Straitley, the elderly Classics teacher now with worrying health issues, makes a return although he mostly serves as a listening ear, only occasionally adding a noteworthy opinion. The story is told from two points of view and across two main timelines. Sadly, I struggled to engage this time round. The books are described as psychological thrillers and I was expecting the tense and taut pacing of the earlier works. Whilst not a particular fan of Dark Academia as a genre, I very much enjoyed two of the previous books in this series – Gentlemen and Players and Different Class.

Kelton contends bigger deficits can strengthen an economy and lead to faster growth. Indeed, she argues that public deficits can be very healthy for an economy. Kelton argues that government spending properly targeted and government debt need not be problematic. Stephanie Kelton, in her new book The Deficit Myth: Modern Monetary Theory and the Birth of the People’s Economy, demonstrates that concerns about public debt overhang are ill-founded. The result is slower GDP growth and stagnation in worker’s wages and salaries. The increased taxes will lower consumption spending of households and investment spending of businesses. With debt-to-GDP ratios so high, mainstream economists warn there will be a debt overhang post-pandemic, which they proclaim will force a curtailment of public spending in the future and an increase in taxes. The IMF anticipates the average debt-to-GDP ratios in advanced economies will rise above 120 per cent. ![]() ![]() Japan’s public debt to GDP ratio is expected to grow above 250 per cent.
