      <image:title>Blog - Rags of Time: Michael Ward’s Mystery in 17th-Century London - About the Author</image:title>
      <image:caption>Almost all of Michael Ward’s professional life has centred on writing. A former BBC journalist, he became a journalism teacher, and is still asked to run copywriting workshops to this day. After 25 years, he left university life behind to set up a content creation agency for business clients, but now devotes his energies to writing novels. So far, there are three Thomas Tallant Mysteries, with a fourth currently in research. Alex Gerlis, best-selling author of historical espionage thrillers, describes Michael’s books as ‘meticulously researched, elegantly written’.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Fourteen-year-old Suren Simonian lives a typical life in Van, eastern Anatolia, spending his days at school and with his Turkish best friend, Hamza. But in spring 1915, everything changes as rumors of Turkish massacres of Armenian villages reach the city. With Turkish troops massing outside Van, Suren is forced to confront the horrors of genocide. As he struggles to understand what it means to be a man, Suren realizes that when everything you love is threatened, the only answer is to fight back—you can never hide from the devil.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Heroes who did not surrender – Operation Anthropoid in Prague, 1942 - Art of Your Travel - Martina Gregorcova – Official Guide of Prague</image:title>
      <image:caption>Since 2006, I have run my own travel agency, Art of Your Travel, creating unforgettable experiences for visitors to Prague. Beyond organizing corporate events, bachelor parties, and unique tours in my vintage Trabant 601, my greatest passion lies in guiding Czechoslovak resistance tours. These tours are more than history lessons—they are a living tribute to the men and women who stood against tyranny. I believe it is vital, especially today, to remind people that they too have the right to resist when things are wrong, and that courage in the face of evil matters. For me, it is also deeply personal: to honor the memory of my ancestors, thanks to whom I can exist. As a close friend often tells me, “we must live our lives for them, because they gave theirs for us”—a truth that I carry into every tour I lead.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - What the Record Couldn’t Hold: Writing The Doctrine of Shadows - Secrets of the Republic Series: Book Three</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Doctrine of Shadows is a historical spy thriller for fans of political intrigue, secret history, and psychological suspense. In post-Revolutionary War America, freedom survives through secret espionage. Before the CIA, MI6, or Mossad, there was the Doctrine. In 1785, beneath the Pennsylvania State House, John Jay, John Adams, and a mysterious strategist known as Smith launch the republic’s first covert operations program—a bold successor to the Culper Spy Ring that will shape intelligence history. Unofficial. Untraceable. Unsanctioned. Ten children are taken from home and trained in ruthless spycraft. They will stand guard where treaties fail. But one child was never chosen. He was delivered—and his existence could turn the Doctrine’s shadows against itself.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - What the Record Couldn’t Hold: Writing The Doctrine of Shadows - About the Author</image:title>
      <image:caption>Douglas A. Gosselin—former airborne infantryman, law-enforcement officer, and federal contractor turned federal-agency consultant—channels a life spent inside contingency operations conducted in clandestine maneuvers into stories that pull back the curtain on Colonial America and its Revolutionary War espionage. His boots-on-the-ground perspective brings the methods of the Culper Spy Ring and other era-defining spycraft sharply into focus, framing an unflinching look at intelligence history through the timeless lenses of loyalty, strategy, and survival.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Press Release - Forsberg Named Community Engagement and Development Lead - Still haven’t read The Rhino Keeper?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Latest five star review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “The Rhino Keeper wonderfully brings life to its characters, modern and historical, and seamlessly weaves narratives between two time periods. Each character is well developed, most of all Clara herself, who, by the end of the novel, the reader will empathize with just as much as any of the human characters. The themes that the book discusses are relevant to this day. The protection and conservation of wildlife is a discussion that continues, and The Rhino Keeper blends these themes with historically grounded stories that feel real, and tug at the heartstrings. Animal-lovers, history-lovers, and fiction-lovers will enjoy this book, I highly recommend putting this on your reading list!”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"A rattlesnake falls from the church rafters, and from there, J. E. Weiner unwinds a scorching Southern gothic tale across the Texas Hill Country in The Wretched and Undone. Her generation-by-generation saga of the Anderwald family across the tumult of the late nineteenth century is told with true authenticity of voice and place. Her characters are so well crafted they crawl off the page. The novel's dark edges are absolutely gripping. A finer piece of historical fiction I cannot recall." –Adam Van Winkle, editor-in-chief at Cowboy Jamboree Press and author of Dylan Quick is a Dairy Queen Don Quixote</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Meet the Intern: Zipporah. K.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Simple intelligent girls win, am I right? Hi y’all! I’m Zipporah Kuteesa (Zee), a dedicated reader and writer who reads more than she writes but believes of late the opposite is true especially since she published her first book. Finally, right? I excel at so many things so I have difficulty choosing what I should drop so I instead create a timeframe for each activity. I have a First Class degree in Mass Communication and Journalism with a major in Communications. I took on this degree with the intention of becoming a voice to the voiceless through action and my writing.  Besides writing stories and blogs that put bullies to shame, I also actively participate in charity work as a Projects Manager, fundraising for a charity called Mercy Hands Uganda. A bully hates to see me coming and I wouldn’t have it any other way.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Restoring Women’s Voices through Historical Fiction: The Beecher-Tilton Scandal as Told by Elizabeth - About the Book</image:title>
      <image:caption>In Unruly Human Hearts, Elizabeth Tilton, a devout housewife, shares liberal ideals with her journalist husband, Theodore, and her pastor, Reverend Henry Ward Beecher, both influential reformers of the Reconstruction era. She is torn between admiration for her husband’s stand on women’s rights and resentment of his dominating ways. When Theodore justifies his extramarital affairs in terms of the “free love” doctrine that marriage should not restrict other genuine loves, she finds the courage to express her feelings for Reverend Beecher. The three partners in this triangle struggle with love, desire, jealousy, fear of public exposure, and legal battles. Once passion for her pastor undermines the moral certainties of her generation, Elizabeth enters uncharted territory. Telling the truth may cost her everything. Can a woman accustomed to following the lead of men find her own path and define her own truth?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Press Release - Forsberg Set to Publish Companion Novel with History Through Fiction - Still haven’t read The Rhino Keeper?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Latest five star review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “The Rhino Keeper wonderfully brings life to its characters, modern and historical, and seamlessly weaves narratives between two time periods. Each character is well developed, most of all Clara herself, who, by the end of the novel, the reader will empathize with just as much as any of the human characters. The themes that the book discusses are relevant to this day. The protection and conservation of wildlife is a discussion that continues, and The Rhino Keeper blends these themes with historically grounded stories that feel real, and tug at the heartstrings. Animal-lovers, history-lovers, and fiction-lovers will enjoy this book, I highly recommend putting this on your reading list!”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Book Feature: The Mutiny Brides by Barbara Sontheimer - Barbara Sontheimer has a B.A. from a little college in the bootheel of Missouri and spent 15 years researching and writing her first novel Victor’s Blessing while raising 3 children. One of her greatest hopes for all her novels is that someone turns out the light a bit too late on a work night, or (like she did) occasionally hid from her kids in the laundry room to finish a chapter. The Mutiny Brides is her second novel. Barbara is married and lives in Lake Ozark, Missouri, or wherever her husband parks the RV.</image:title>

      <image:caption>In The Rhino Keeper, Jillian Forsberg masterfully blends historical fiction with archaeological intrigue. The novel follows Andrea Clarkson's discovery of hidden documents and artifacts that reveal the captivating journey of a rhinoceros across 18th-century Europe, showcasing the power of historical conservation and the enduring impact of forgotten stories. The Rhino Keeper deftly weaves a very modern tale of a young historian who makes a life-changing discovery with the true story of an eighteenth-century Dutch sea captain who toured Europe with a fully-grown female Indian rhinoceros called Clara. Readers will be pulling for the central characters, past and present, as we follow in Clara’s outsize footsteps to discover her history and final fate.   –Glynis Ridley, author of Clara’s Grand Tour: Travels with a Rhinoceros in Eighteenth-Century Europe</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Picking Clean the Bones of the Moor - About the Author</image:title>
      <image:caption>An author of literary fantasy, Sam lives above the moor in North Cornwall, and draws on its wild landscape, wide skies, and windblown folklore for his work. Growing up on a sheep farm near Hereford, he left for London and trained as a costume designer working in film, theatre and opera before moving into visual art, still working with narratives, texts and stories. It was during his last project, surrounding the discovery and development of Eythin (an island lost off the coast of Cornwall, halfway between Boscastle and the Celtic Deep) that he found his talent for writing rich, detailed mythic worlds. This came as a surprise—despite a lifelong love of reading anything within reach, and over a decade working in libraries—but a welcome one.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Are you a historical fiction writer seeking to bolster your novel’s voice? If so, consider signing up for a class I’ll be teaching on August 13 that explores the craft of voice in historical fiction. In addition to my process, we’ll analyze the voices of renowned historical fiction authors such as Hilary Mantel, Toni Morrison, Cormac McCarthy, and many more. Together, we’ll uncover the techniques these masters use to create compelling voices and learn how to apply this craft to our own writing.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Anne of Brittany - The Formidable Heiress of a Vanishing Duchy - About the Author</image:title>
      <image:caption>As a kid Keira was a bookworm. It was then that she discovered the Renaissance as a wonderful place of queens, princesses, and castles. She studied the period at university and realized that life for those same queens and princesses in their castles wasn’t nearly as romantic as she had dreamed, but it was much more fascinating. The clothing, the food, the way people travelled, how they lived, how they brought up their children, what they thought about, and why—all these things intrigued her. She studied Renaissance history at university and her fascination with the period grew. So, during her career in the Canadian public service, continued her research and wrote fiction about the period as her private passion. She then moved to Mexico where she pursues her writing full time. She recently completed The Importance of Wives, her third published novel about Anne of Brittany, in her The Chronicles of the House of Valois series. The Importance of Sons and The Importance of Pawns continue the story of this inspiring woman who was also twice queen of France. She is also a member of the France’s Splendid Centuries Writing Cooperative that together writes a weekly Facebook blog about fascinating aspects of French history, culture, and people.</image:caption>

But, when Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand conquer Granada and sign an edict ordering all Jews convert to Catholicism or depart Spain in three months’ time under penalty of death, Vidal must choose between his faith and his homeland. Journeying in a caravan of 200 Jews to start their lives anew across the sea in Fez, Vidal struggles to care for the sick all while trying to mend strained relationships with his family. At the same time, his daughter back home finds herself exposed to the Spanish Inquisition living as a converso in a Christian empire. Based on the true history of the 1492 Jewish Expulsion from Spain, South of Sepharad presents readers with a painful but important part of Jewish history as seen through the eyes of one Jewish family.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - South of Sepharad Audio Excerpt - Fleeing death by the Spanish Inquisition, a Jewish doctor makes an impossible choice between home and faith, then struggles to lead his family on a journey for a new life.</image:title>
      <image:caption>GRANADA, SPAIN, 1492. Vidal ha-Rofeh is a Jewish physician devoted to his faith, his family, and his patients. When Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand conquer Granada they sign the Alhambra Decree, an edict ordering all Jews convert to Catholicism or depart Spain in three months’ time under penalty of death. Against his wife’s belief that converting is safer than exile, Vidal insists they flee. Unwillingly leaving behind their oldest daughter with her Catholic husband, Vidal’s family joins a caravan of 200 Jews journeying to start their lives anew across the sea in Fez. On the caravan, Vidal struggles to balance his physician duties of caring for the sick while struggling to mend strained relationships with his family. At the same time, his daughter back home finds herself exposed to the Spanish Inquisition living as a converso in a Christian empire.  Presenting readers with a painful but important part of Jewish history, South of Sepharad is a heroic, heart-breaking story of a father who holds tightly to his faith, his family, and his integrity all while confronting the grief of the past and the harsh realities of forced exile.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A More Complete View of History: The other side of WWII - A guest blog post by Aubrey Taylor - About the Author</image:title>
      <image:caption>Aubrey Taylor loved making her own little books as a kid and writing stories. As she grew up, other interests like friends, work, and music took over, and writing took a backseat. Music remained important to her, and she played in church groups and a local band. She married Brian, a software engineer who shares her love for music, and they have three children. They enjoy hiking and traveling together. Writing returned to Aubrey's life when an irresistible idea struck her in March 2021. Despite being busy with homeschooling and ministry, she couldn't ignore this inspiration. She began creating characters and delving into historical research. After much dedication, her book "Sani" was published on her 41st birthday. On her website, you can preview her books and sign up for updates on her blog and future projects. www.aubreytaylorbooks.com www.facebook.com/aubreytaylorbooks www.instagram.com/aubreytaylorbooks BookBub: https://www.bookbub.com/profile/aubrey-taylor Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/21846520.Aubrey_Taylor</image:caption>

      <image:caption>David K. Wessel is one of six children born to Karl-Heinz Wessel, the main character of Choosing Sides. David is a recently retired diplomat who served at embassies in Rome, Budapest, Podgorica (Montenegro) and Guatemala. When it comes to writing about the years leading up to World War II he relies not only on his family story, but fifty years of studying how the Weimar Republic shaped the lives of ‘ordinary Germans.’ At university, he majored in history with a focus on Germany between the wars and has continued his interest in the subject ever since. After leaving foreign service, he returned to those studies and dove into the specific research so well reflected in Choosing Sides. In addition to writing Choosing Sides, David has developed four presentations that provide details on various historic elements of the novel. He is available to deliver talks at booksellers, libraries, colleges, historical societies, museums and other venues.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Lynn Downey is a native Californian and self-described dudine. She grew up around her uncle's horses and her rodeo cowboy cousins in the San Francisco Bay Area, but instead of spending her childhood on horseback, she ended up as a historian and novelist of the West. She read about the culture of dude ranching while working as the company Historian for Levi Strauss &amp; Co., and spent her first dude ranch vacation in Wickenburg, Arizona. She became fascinated with this unique American institution and made it the setting for her award-winning debut novel, Dudes Rush In, the first book in her H Double Bar Dude Ranch series. Lynn has written about Western history for over thirty years, and her books include American Dude Ranch: A Touch of the Cowboy and the Thrill of the West; Levi Strauss: The Man Who Gave Blue Jeans to the World; Arequipa Sanatorium: Life in California's Lung Resort for Women; Arizona's Vulture Mine and Vulture City; Wickenburg: Images of America; and A Short History of Sonoma. Her books have won many accolades: the Will Rogers Medallion Award, New Mexico-Arizona Book Award, the WILLA award from Women Writing the West, and the INDIE award from Foreword Reviews. She shares her home in Sonoma, California with a collection of very entertaining cats and occasionally makes wine from the Pinot Noir vineyard in her backyard. You can find Lynn on Instagram at lynn.downey.historian. Her website is at lynndowney.com, and she also writes the blog Tumblereads: A New Twist on the Old West: tumblereadsblog.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The Alhambra Decree of 1492: Exploring the Forced Exodus in ‘South of Sepharad’ - A heroic, heart-breaking story of a father who holds tightly to his faith, his family, and his integrity all while confronting the grief of the past and the harsh realities of forced exile.   Vidal ha-Rofeh is a Jewish physician devoted to his faith, his family, and his patients. But, when Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand conquer Granada and sign an edict ordering all Jews convert to Catholicism or depart Spain in three months’ time under penalty of death, Vidal must choose between his faith and his homeland. Journeying in a caravan of 200 Jews to start their lives anew across the sea in Fez, Vidal struggles to care for the sick all while trying to mend strained relationships with his family. At the same time, his daughter back home finds herself exposed to the Spanish Inquisition living as a converso in a Christian empire.</image:title>

      <image:caption>E. Jax Willoughby is a fan of reinvention, continually shifting as the situation demands. Early in life, they were fortunate enough to receive training in creative writing at Interlochen Arts Academy, before reality intervened. After obtaining an entirely too long string of letters after their name, they ate what they killed on the fringes of academic medicine. Inevitably, infinite toil eventually crushed both body and spirit and they turned back to writing, seeking restoration. When not clacking away on the keyboard, they can be found in the pottery barn torturing clay or walking trails with their long-suffering spouse and spunky noodle dog.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A creative re-imagining of the U.S. - Dakota War of 1862, Reclaiming Mni Sota is an eye-opening portrayal of one of America's most tragic, regrettable events. Told through dual narratives from each side of the conflict, Reclaiming Mni Sota confronts America's history of settler-colonialism while illuminating the personal stories and heartrending choices that men and women, white and Native, were forced to make. Based on real events told through descriptive detail and fully developed characters, Reclaiming Mni Sota reveals the truth of our history while connecting it to the present and asking readers to question how things could have been different.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - HISTORY THROUGH FICTION ANNOUNCES NEW INITIATIVE: RECLAIMING MNI SOTA INDIGENOUS WRITERS GRANT - Reclaiming Mni Sota by Colin Mustful</image:title>
      <image:caption>A creative re-imagining of the U.S. -Dakota War of 1862, Reclaiming Mni Sota is an eye-opening portrayal of one of America's most tragic, regrettable events. Told through dual narratives from each side of the conflict, Reclaiming Mni Sota confronts America's history of settler-colonialism while illuminating the personal stories and heartrending choices that men and women, white and Native, were forced to make. Based on real events told through descriptive detail and fully developed characters, Reclaiming Mni Sota reveals the truth of our history while connecting it to the present and asking readers to question how things could have been different.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Resisting Removal tells the story of the forced removal of the Lake Superior Bands of Ojibwe from their homes in Wisconsin to the newly established Minnesota Territory. Known as the Sandy Lake Tragedy, the removal resulted in the death of four-hundred Ojibwe. But the Ojibwe resisted continued efforts to remove them, eventually earning permanent reservation homes on their ancestral homelands. Though fictionalized, Resisting Removal is well-researched novel that includes thorough chapter notes and a bibliography. Based on real events and historical figures, it reveals the truth of a history too long ignored.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Author p.d.r. lindsay is passionate about words, feels the loss of people like Shakespeare, those who wrote the King James Bible, poets who made words dance, like Gerard Manley Hopkins. She's published over 100 short stories, 3 anthologies and four novels and prefers historical stories for novels because she finds she can say things to readers in historical settings which readers might not accept in modern settings. She is concerned that certain social issues make repeat appearances over the centuries and likes her readers to think about those situations which her characters find themselves in whilst enjoying their company. Novel five is incubating around another serious social issue. Find her at: www.pdrlindsay.co.nz and on social media.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A Review of “The Silence of Scheherazade” by F.M. Deemyad, author of “The Sky Worshipers”</image:title>
      <image:caption>“An epic novel that pulls back the veil on the tumultuous life and times of Genghis Khan, the Mongol leader who was intent upon becoming the ruler of the world. Breathtaking in scope, honest and raw, The Sky Worshipers reveals life in the orbit of the conquerors. But beneath the destruction and bloodshed, [it] tells of freedoms for women yet unknown in Europe; of the Mongols’ compassion for other faiths; and of love as fierce as the vast, unforgiving land that bore it.” – Kristine Morris, Foreword Reviews</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - A Time Period that has Baffled Historians: Debut Novelist F.M. Deemyad Conquers All - F.M. Deemyad is the author of The Sky Worshipers, a historical novel that tells the story of the rise and fall of the Mongol Empire from the perspective of three foreign princesses taken captive by Genghis Khan and his progeny.</image:title>
      <image:caption>“An epic novel that pulls back the veil on the tumultuous life and times of Genghis Khan, the Mongol leader who was intent upon becoming the ruler of the world. Breathtaking in scope, honest and raw, The Sky Worshipers reveals life in the orbit of the conquerors. But beneath the destruction and bloodshed, [it] tells of freedoms for women yet unknown in Europe; of the Mongols’ compassion for other faiths; and of love as fierce as the vast, unforgiving land that bore it.” – Kristine Morris, Foreword Reviews</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How to Write History Through Fiction - A Craft Essay</image:title>
      <image:caption>Historical fiction is one of the most popular literary genres. When done well it brings history to life, teaching readers about important historical people and events while also evoking profound, relatable emotions through its characters. But how does the historical author balance history and fiction? In this craft essay, historian and author Colin Mustful carefully examines four Civil War narratives and identifies how each author incorporates important historical details into their novels without disrupting the fictional dream. Mustful, who is the author of several historical novels, identifies the elements that make a historical novel effective and engaging—he shows readers and writers alike how to write history through fiction.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Podcast - Season 10, Episode 8 - Cecil Beckett - About the Anthology</image:title>
      <image:caption>Across continents and centuries, the stories in The Blood of Englishmen illuminate lives lived at the margins of official history—moments of crisis, courage, and quiet transformation that ripple outward through families, communities, and nations. From the aftermath of earthquakes and wars to the intimate revolutions of faith, art, and survival, these award-winning tales bring forgotten voices into sharp, unforgettable focus. A detective searches for meaning in a city consumed by fire. A mother and son cross the desert, haunted by memory and belief. Pioneers, musicians, aviators, and dreamers confront injustice, loss, and the shifting tides of history. Each story offers a window into a world both familiar and strange, revealing resilience and hope in the face of overwhelming odds. The Blood of Englishmen is a celebration of storytelling’s power to recover what has been overlooked and to connect us across time and place. This anthology invites readers to encounter history not as a distant past, but as a living presence—urgent, intimate, and enduring.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Podcast - Season 10, Episode 7 - Carol M. Cram - About the Novel</image:title>
      <image:caption>In the dreary streets of 1890s Briarstown, a fictional Yorkshire mill town, Eliza Kingwell fights to survive in a home filled with hardship. When a devastating loss crushes her plan to escape with her five daughters, she turns to an unlikely lifeline: a local singing competition. With nothing left to lose, she gathers a feisty group of working-class women to form a choir—and sets her sights on a cash prize that could change her life forever. Meanwhile, Ruth Henton—once Eliza’s best friend and now a star on the London stage—is disgraced by scandal and must find new purpose and redemption. As fate would have it, Ruth becomes a judge in the very competition Eliza needs to win. While Eliza’s choir trains for its chance at glory, secrets simmer, friendships deepen, and long-buried wounds surface. In a time and place where women’s voices are too often ignored, The Choir is a triumphant story of music, sisterhood, and reclaiming power. Perfect for fans of Jennifer Chiaverini, Tracy Chevalier and Pip Williams, The Choir is a stirring, beautifully written novel that celebrates the strength of women who dare to rise—and sing.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>C. W.

Through vivid vignettes and heartfelt letters, Towarnicki captures the human cost of war in a story that is “a time machine, a poem, a love letter” (Nick Gregorio), leaving readers deeply moved long after the final page.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Podcast - Season 8, Episode 8 - Shara Moon - About the Book</image:title>
      <image:caption>"Shara Moon's debut Let Us March On is a story about a quiet woman who used her voice in a big way: to influence the most powerful man in the country. Moon guides us through a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the FDR White House through the eyes of housekeeper Elizabeth McDuffie. Spanning from the 1906 Atlanta race riot to that sad day in April 1945 in Warm Springs, Georgia, that changed everything, this is a story of a woman's resilience and compassion that readers will find hard to put down." —Kaia Alderson, author of Sisters in Arms and In a League of Her Own</image:caption>

But their dreams quickly become nightmares when Marcin provokes a sinister specter hell-bent on revenge. A battle ensues for the hearts, minds, and souls of the Anderwalds and their extended family of immigrant outcasts, Arab camel wranglers, wounded warriors, and a songstress on the verge of madness. As the generations unfold, each faces its own harrowing ordeal against unrelenting evil. Will the Anderwalds break free or remain forever wretched and undone? Heralded as "a genre-bending thrill ride through Old Texas," with "characters so well-crafted they crawl off the page," The Wretched and Undone was named a Killer Nashville Top Pick for 2024 and a Claymore Award Finalist for Best Southern Gothic.</image:caption>

Bruton served in several overseas assignments, including one country that was once part of the Eastern Roman Empire. It was there that he gained a love for the region's hospitality and tradition of toasting. Bruton has traveled extensively throughout the countries that once constituted the Roman Empire and spent a great deal of time in Rome and Istanbul, where his three-part historical fiction series takes place. His novel series called The Double Edged Sword Series, tells the the story of General Flavius Belisarius, a 6th century military commander of the Byzantine Empire.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>After 30 years in the computer industry, and 13 years with the Essex County Community Foundation, author David Tory began researching philanthropy in 17th century New England. His research uncovered facts about the early settlements that appeared to be generally unknown. As he delved deeper, the character Isaac Stanfield evolved to become the observer and participant in that early history in what became his novel series The Stanfield Chronicles. Tory is also a lifelong sailor. Born in the UK, he moved to the United States in 1980 and now lives on Cape Ann, Massachusetts, with Helen, his wife of 48 years. Tory’s Stanfield Chronicles tell the story of Isaac Stanfield, a young man with a thirst for adventure.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>K.M. Butler is an author of historical novels that seek to highlight the similarities—not the differences—shared by modern readers and their ancestors. He believes good historical fiction transports readers out of the 21st century to understand that people in the past acted as they did for eminently sensible reasons, based on the extent of their knowledge. Butler’s debut novel, The Raven and the Dove, depicts the struggles of identity, culture, and religion in the very first days when Norse settlers and the Christians of northern France began living side-by-side.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Podcast - Season 3 Coming Soon! - September 19 – K.M. Butler</image:title>
      <image:caption>K.M. Butler is an author of historical novels that seek to highlight the similarities—not the differences—shared by modern readers and their ancestors. He believes good historical fiction transports readers out of the 21st century to understand that people in the past acted as they did for eminently sensible reasons, based on the extent of their knowledge. Butler’s debut novel, The Raven and the Dove, depicts the struggles of identity, culture, and religion in the very first days when Norse settlers and the Christians of northern France began living side-by-side.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Reviews - Book Feature - Victor’s Blessing by Barbara Sontheimer - About the Author</image:title>
      <image:caption>Barbara Sontheimer has a B.A.  from a little college in the bootheel of Missouri and spent 15 years researching and writing Victor’s Blessing while raising 3 children.  A fascination with the everyday life of the people not battles was the driving force. One of her greatest hopes for her novel is that someone turns out the light a bit too late on a work night, or (like she did) occasionally hid from her kids in the laundry room to finish a chapter.  Barbara is married and lives in Lake Ozark, Missouri.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Kings Anatomist - About the Author</image:title>
      <image:caption>Ron Blumenfeld is a retired pediatrician and health care executive. Ron grew up in the Bronx, New York and studied at City College of New York before receiving his MD degree from the State University of New York. After completing his pediatrics residency at the University of Arizona, he and his family settled in Connecticut, but Tucson remains their second home. Upon retirement, he became a columnist for his town’s newspaper, a pleasure he surrendered to concentrate on his debut novel, The King’s Anatomist. He enjoys a variety of outdoor sports and hiking. He and his wife Selina currently reside in Connecticut and are fortunate to have their son Daniel and granddaughter Gracelynn nearby.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Alina Adams is the NYT-bestselling author of soap-opera tie-ins, figure-skating mysteries, and romance novels. Born in Odessa, USSR, Adams immigrated to the United States at age seven and learned to speak English by watching American Soap Operas. After receiving her B.A. and M.A. in broadcast communications at San Francisco State University, Adams worked in television as a writer and researcher. Years later she penned the As The World Turns book tie-in, Oakdale Confidential, which became a New York Times bestseller. Adams continued writing and is now a prolific and innovative writer who has authored more than a dozen books, both fiction and nonfiction. Her previous release, The Nesting Dolls, is a Soviet-Jewish historical novel published by HarperCollins in July 2020. Her newest novel, My Mother’s Secret: A Novel of the Jewish Autonomous Region, was published by History Through Fiction in November 2022. Adams lives in New York City with her husband and their three children.</image:caption>

      <image:title>A Noble Cunning - About the Author</image:title>
      <image:caption>Patricia Bernstein grew up in Dallas and earned a Degree of Distinction in American Studies from Smith College. Returning to Texas, she founded a public relations agency in Houston, while publishing dozens of articles in publications as varied as Texas Monthly, Cosmopolitan and The Smithsonian. She published three non-fiction books before her first novel. The most recent non-fiction book, Ten Dollars to Hate, about the 1920s Ku Klux Klan, was a finalist for a major award from the Texas Institute of Letters. A Noble Cunning: The Countess and the Tower, Patricia’s debut novel, based on a true story, tells the tale of a woman who rescued her husband from the Tower of London the night before his scheduled execution. The book has been awarded gold medals by the American Bookfest and the IPPY awards, and was named first-place winner in the Catholic Novel category by the Catholic Media Association. Patricia lives in Houston with her husband Alan Bernstein. They have three wonderful and very different daughters. Website: https://www.patriciabernstein.com</image:caption>

      <image:title>South of Sepharad - About the Author</image:title>
      <image:caption>Eric Z. Weintraub earned an MFA in Creative Writing from Mount St. Mary’s University where he wrote his debut novel South of Sepharad. Growing up in Los Angeles, CA, he came from a family of filmmakers, writers, and educators stirring in him a passion for storytelling from a young age. His short fiction has appeared in Tabula Rasa Review, Halfway Down the Stairs, The Rush, and elsewhere. His novella Dreams of an American Exile won the 2015 Plaza Literary Prize and was published by Black Hill Press. His short story collection The 28th Parallel was a finalist for the 2021 Flannery O’Connor Award in Short Fiction. When not writing fiction, Eric profiles true stories of complex medical cases where he works at the Keck School of Medicine of USC.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Born in Scotland and now living in London, Dr. Ezra Harker Shaw is a non-binary writer who loves all things Gothic. While earning their PhD, Harker Shaw explored the collaborative writing of Percy Byssche Shelley and Mary Shelley, a project that led them to write The Aziola’s Cry. A celebrated performance poet, Harker Shaw regularly hosts poetry nights in London and was nominated for the Outspoken Prize for Poetry. Harker Shaw has also showcased their talent as a playwright with works such as Tolstoy Tried to Kill My Partner and The Grouchy Octopus Story, both of which were performed in London by the esteemed Pajoda Theatre Co. Possessing a profound passion for teaching, Harker Shaw often conducts university lectures and workshops with aspiring young writers. To further inspire and educate others, Harker Shaw hosts the Meliorist Writes podcast, where they provide valuable writing tips and engage in insightful interviews with fellow creatives.</image:caption>
