From her love of ancient history and art, Alice Lockmiller writes and illustrates historical fiction for 10-12 year olds. Based on extensive research into the people and setting, these realistic short novels are engaging, and entertaining on their own. Alice is also a retired teacher and Professional Reading Specialist from Texas who complements the novels with guides for experienced homeschool and classroom teachers. Each novel and guide have both a glossary and bibliography. Used together, the books become wonderful tools for bringing history to life!
