History!

 Hi there!

As you probably know by now, I love history; and for that reason, I predominantly write historical fiction. But do you know how interesting history itself can be?

I’ve read more historical articles, books, and watched more documentaries than I can count. But there are still a few things that stand out in my thoughts. Did you know That Victorian ladies regularly carried pins with them, to keep their napkins from slipping onto the floor? Pretty savvy right? That a murder case was once partially solved by a ghost? Look up the Greenbrier ghost. For a twist greater then any drama you’ll see on TV, Napoleon divorced his wife because she couldn’t have kids, but left her with a house, huge garden, and a very healthy allowance for the rest of her life. And Woodrow Willson, president during WWI, predicted (more or less) WWII.

All of this is to say that history is an interesting place to take a walk through, I’ve given you a few jumping-off points here, but it’s up to you to dive in!

Thanks for the read!

What’s your favorite historical fact/event/person?
