Down the Rabbit Hole!

One of my favorite parts of writing Ezra Whetstone and the Masters of Time isn't the writing. It's the research.

Diving into History

When I decide to send Ezra somewhere in history, I don't just skim a few articles. I immerse myself in that world. Each chapter is a new adventure, a new discovery.

The Wonders of Angkor Wat

For one upcoming chapter, I dove deep into the incredible engineering of Angkor Wat. Its massive stone construction, intricate carvings, and sophisticated water system helped sustain one of history's greatest civilizations. Can you imagine standing there, witnessing the grandeur of it all?

The Mysteries of the Library of Alexandria

Another chapter led me down the rabbit hole of the Library of Alexandria. I wanted to separate centuries of legend from what historians actually know. I didn't come back out of that one for weeks! The tales of lost knowledge and ancient scrolls are captivating. What secrets did those walls hold?

The Golden Age of Piracy

Lately, I've been researching the Golden Age of Piracy. The more I learn about Blackbeard and the real pirates of the early 1700s, the more I realize how different history is from the Hollywood version. The thrill of the high seas, the danger, and the adventure... it’s all so real!

The Inca Empire: A Turning Point in History

I've also spent hours exploring the story of the Inca Empire. Following the trail of Atahualpa's ransom raises a question that every time traveler would ask: What if you arrived just before history changed forever? The tension is palpable. What would you do in that moment?

The Power of Storytelling

My goal has always been simple: if a young reader finishes a chapter and immediately wants to learn more about the real history behind it, then I've done my job. History is filled with stories that are every bit as exciting as fiction.

What Captivates You?

What's one historical place or event you've always wished you could see with your own eyes? Imagine the thrill of stepping into that moment, feeling the energy of the past.

Join the Adventure

As I continue to write, I invite you to join me on this thrilling journey. Together, we can explore the depths of history and uncover the stories that shaped our world. Are you ready to dive in?

Ezra Whetstone and the Masters of Time is not just a series; it's an adventure waiting to unfold. Let's make history come alive!
