Towardthe end of her forty-year career as a creator of science museums, Sheila Grinell turned to fiction. Her debut novel, APPETITE , was published in 2016, and a second novel, THE CONTRACT, will be released in September 2019. A graduate of Harvard University with a degree in English literature, Sheila earned a master’s in sociology at the University of California at Berkeley. She now gives talks at libraries and bookstores and engages with readers on social media about her “second act” as a novelist.
