We often walk by history. We travel down roads without truly seeing. What if instead we immersed ourselves in the experience of other places, other times? My goal—through my presentations and my stories—is to inspire readers and history enthusiasts to travel with the eyes of an author. To re-experience the past. To become other characters. To time travel. So come along, and I’ll share my behind-the-scenes photos and stories discovered during the downright fun adventures of traveling for words. Come chase history, with me.
