Crafting Shadows

I love writing about the past. Through time's mirror, back into the shadowy corners of historical fiction, echo truth and myth. We find them in the strokes of paint, literature, and real lives.

When writing historical fiction the writer gets to delve into the influences that shape the artistic and philosophical underpinnings of our world. Embracing our past goes beyond pulling back a dusty veil. It extends into the very spaces we now inhabit.

By writing period fiction, the writer can relect the moody, intellectual, hard times of those before us, enriching our current atmosphere and inspiring our minds. Reading the genre can transform your living room, den, or study into an entirely new world of unbounded knowledge.
