History is packed with compelling figures whose stories beg to be told – or imagined.
Author Patti Callahan Henry has found such people in C.S. Lewis, Florence Nightingale, and others whose names are much less familiar.
She knows, as do other historical-fiction writers, that readers wonder what’s real and what is imagined in standout examples of the genre.

Callahan uses an anatomical analogy to describe her process for breathing life into historical figures in a post for Writer’s Digest.
