The Queen’s Scribe by Amy Maroney: Ink and Power

History is often written by those in power but shaped, quietly and irrevocably, by those who stand close enough to witness it and are brave enough to remember it. So, is history defined by those who rule… or by those who bear witness?

Our historical fiction anthology Courage: Tales of History, Mystery and Hope showcases storytelling by Amy Maroney too.

To Be A Queen by Annie Whitehead: Forged in Duty

History does not crown its queens gently. It tempers them: through loss, through expectation, through demands of survival. But history and human nature also suggest otherwise… I’ve been exploring a remarkable group of historical voices lately and discovered what lies beneath quiet appearances. Is resilience something we possess… or something we are forced to become?

Daisy Chain, a short story by Annie Whitehead, appears in our historical fiction anthology Courage: Tales of History, Mystery and Hope.
