History is all too often approached from a mathematical, academic perspective: on this date, this many people did this thing, and that many survived to the next day, when they experienced this event, et cetera, etc., &c.
At Brief Candle Press, we take a different approach to history, focusing on the story part of the field, remembering that history affected – and was made by – people. That’s not to say that we play fast and loose with the historical facts, but they are the backdrop against which the stories of our characters are placed.
Come, join us on a voyage to the foreign land of the past, where much is familiar, but much is strange and wonderful. You will emerge from our books with a deeper appreciation for how our forebears lived, and why it matters.
