Historical Fiction


Creating the Perfect Setting in Historical Fiction
Authenticity matters in historical fiction. In this new post, I share how I build the worlds of my 1930s and 1980s mystery series—using vintage maps, newspaper ads, and fashion research to bring the past to life. Learn how to use local archives, Pinterest boards, and real geography to create vivid, believable settings that transport readers through time. Perfect for writers crafting stories rooted in history, detail, and atmosphere.
