Erin May Baillie
Historical fiction writer dedicated to telling the stories of people, places and events that history (almost) forgot.
Historical stories you've probably never heard of
They say that history is written by the winners. By kings and queens, politicians, and military leaders. But beyond them lie countless unknown stories: ordinary people whose lives are every bit as interesting as the people who dominate history textbooks.
If you want historical fiction that challenges dominant narratives, peeks into history’s dark corners and celebrates the history some people would rather we forget, then you’re in the right place.
I write about women who defied social norms and challenged gendered expectations.
