Historical Suspense

Why I Will Never Give Up My Historical Romances

Why do I cling to historical romance? Maybe it’s the dresses—those gowns that could stop a man dead in his tracks. Maybe it’s the slow-burn tension of a hand brushing a sleeve. Or the sweeping backdrop of revolutions, arranged marriages, and the occasional ghost haunting the manor. Modern love stories don’t usually come with corsets, political chess games, or stolen glances across candlelit ballrooms. Historical romance gives us all that, and then some.

Spies, Secrets, and the Romance of Espionage: A Love Letter to X Company

If you haven’t heard of X Company, you’re not alone—but you’re missing out.

She’s not just part of history—she is history. And maybe, just maybe, she shares blood with Arthur himself. The stories blur. The legends tangle. But oh, what a tale they tell.

Ancient History vs. Medieval History: Why I’ll Take a Toga Over a Tabard Any Day

Why do I prefer ancient history over medieval? Because when it comes to science, culture—and especially women’s rights—the ancients had it going on. Celtic women owned property, led armies (hi, Boudicca), and could even shame their husbands for underperforming in bed. Compare that to medieval Europe, where married women basically vanished from the legal record. This post dives into why I’ll always pick a toga over a tabard, and why history, like fiction, is better when women get to speak.
