Marston was also a writer of essays in popular psychology. And he published a 1928 book "Emotions of Normal People," a defense of many sexual taboos, using much of Byrne's original research she had done for her doctorate. He dedicated the work to her, Holloway, his mother, his aunt, and Huntley. It received almost no attention from the rest of the academic community other than a review, written by Byrne herself, under her alternate name Olive Richard in "The Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology".
