“The unread story is not a story; it is little black marks on wood pulp. The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story.”

A Word From Elizabeth Raum

Exploring history and biography is fun. When I begin researching, I ask myself questions about a particular person or event. My goal is to find the answers and share them with readers like you. Sometimes the result is a nonfiction book. Sometimes it’s a novel. I like to think of my books as time-travel adventures that let you visit the past!
