  • Obsessed with Warren G. Harding since she was young

  • Their affair began when he was senator but continued into his presidency

  • They had a daughter, who Harding financially supported but never met

  • After Harding died, Florence wouldn’t continue payments (can you blame her?)

  • Nan published a tell-all book because she needed money

  • She was written off as a money-grubbing liar… and worse

  • DNA testing eventually confirmed that Harding was the father

Heather Rogers, America's Preeminent Presidential Doodler

Heather isn’t a historian, an academic, or an impartial storyteller… but she has read more than one book about every U.S. president. Out of spite. She was dubbed America’s Preeminent Presidential Doodler by one of her favorite authors and she’s been repeating it ever since. When she’s not reading or doodling history books, she’s a freelance graphic designer and illustrator.
