The Sacred in the Secular

Hi there! My name is Charity Bishop.

Are you wild about history? Do you foam at the mouth to see a historical figure you love slandered? Or maybe you just want to know more about the history of the period and the facts of what truly happened? You’re not alone, because I feel passionately that fiction should represent well the figures of the past. People who lived, breathed, loved, and cannot defend themselves from modern slander.

I strive to give them a voice through my novels, but also to defend them by analyzing what is honest and dishonest about historical films, television shows, and books.

Come with me as I analyze movies and stories for deeper spiritual truths, share links to my website, Charity’s Place, where I frequently bitch about inaccuracies in Tudor dramas, and obsess about certain authors.

Because they exist. And because I care.

Sit back, put up your feet, grab your beverage of choice, and prepare to be entertained, enlightened, and impressed by the truly remarkable figures in history. And maybe you’ll feel inclined to read one of my books along the way.
