Sarah Chrisman
A Victorian lady in the modern world. I write both fiction and non-fiction, and I believe reading real books makes the world a better place. I love books, cats, roses, and primary-source historical research. Be sure to find my books on Amazon — and remember to tell your friends about them! Happy reading! :)
