But how does the author share real history while keeping the reader engaged in a fictional narrative? In this enlightening four-part virtual workshop, Colin Mustful, an esteemed author, historian, and the founder of History Through Fiction, teaches writers how to integrate historical details into novels without disrupting the fictional dream.
