Please join History Through Fiction for an evening with the authors of HTF's brand new Member-only Content Area. Moderated by HTF editor Colin Mustful, this special live event will feature the independent authors whose historical fiction short stories and novel excerpts have been published exclusively to HTF's member area. The authors will be reading excerpts of their work, discussing their writing, and answering questions from the audience.

History Through Fiction's Member Area is free to join and features historical fiction shorts stories and novel excerpts submitted by independent authors and curated by our editors. One new story or novel excerpt is published on the first of each month.
