The Last Rose of Summer is a true story about corruption in #cancer research. I discovered a cheap, plant-derived drug that could replace some much more toxic (but more lucrative) therapies. #BigPharma got involved and suppressed the research. Eventually I had to publish the story in thinly veiled fiction and survive a bunch of murder attempts. "Mary Austin" is a pseudonym, as my publisher forced me to use one. So... hi, I'm "Mary." 🤷♀️

My father says that he was a boy they used to sing:
"Beans, beans, the magical fruit
The more you eat, the more you toot
The more you toot, the better you feel
Let's have beans for every meal!" 🎶
Poll to follow.
