About Historium Press

There is something magical about wandering through a bookshop with nowhere else to be—scanning the covers, reading the blurbs and first lines, pulling one book from the shelf and then another, opening a brand-new book and taking that first wonderful sniff (yes, you know you have all done it!), and inevitably leaving with two or three—or ten—more books to add to an already enormous TBR pile. Add a good cup of coffee or tea, and for me, there are few better ways to spend an afternoon.

And there is one genre I return to again and again: historical fiction.

It is what I love to read, and it is what I love to write. I have always been fascinated by the ability of historical fiction to transport us into another time—to walk the streets of another century, experience the lives of people who came before us, and discover the human stories hidden within the pages of history.

The Historical Fiction Company and Historium Press is about more than my own love of reading and writing. It is my hope to create a place of support and creativity for writers at every stage of their journey—from authors just beginning to find their voice to established professionals with years of experience behind them.

I believe that publishing should feel personal. Authors should not feel like a manuscript number moving through an impersonal production line. They should feel that there are real people behind the books who care about their stories, their careers, and their success.

That same philosophy carries into my work with Historium Press, where I serve as founder, partner, and Editor-in-Chief. My goal is to build more than a list of published titles. I want to help create a community of historical fiction authors who can encourage one another, share ideas and experiences, celebrate each other's successes, and form genuine, lasting friendships. Historical fiction is a genre built on connection—to the past, to one another, and to the stories that remind us how remarkably human history can be.

My professional background has given me the tools to help make that vision possible. As Head Graphic Designer at White Rabbit Arts, I bring more than 40 years of experience in graphic design, specializing in logo design, book and magazine layouts, cover design, and branding. Over the years, I have learned that a book begins telling its story long before the reader reaches the first page. Its cover, typography, layout, imagery, and overall presentation all contribute to the promise made to the reader.

As an author myself, I also understand the experience from the other side. I know what it means to pour time, imagination, research, and heart into a story and then place that story into someone else's hands. That experience shapes the way I approach editing, design, publishing, and author relationships.

Today, my work brings together the things I have loved for decades: books, writing, history, design, publishing, and people.

Each of these ventures grew from the same underlying belief—that books matter, authors matter, and there is still room in the publishing world for businesses built around personal relationships, creativity, and a genuine love of what we do.

Ultimately, I want The Historical Fiction Company to feel like the kind of place I have always loved walking into: welcoming, full of possibilities, surrounded by wonderful stories, and filled with people who are just as excited about books as I am.

So whether you are an author looking for a place to begin, an established writer looking for a supportive publishing community, or simply a reader who loves getting lost in another time and another story, I hope you enjoy both sites—and perhaps find a new favorite book along the way.
