About the Author

C. K. McAdam is an author of historical fiction whose work explores the rich interplay between literature, history, and culture.

With a Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Humanities, she brings a deeply researched and evocative lens to the past, crafting stories that illuminate forgotten voices and complex eras. Her academic background includes studies in literature, history, and creative writing, all of which inform her nuanced storytelling.

Over the years, she has explored various genres, such as playwriting, screenwriting, and poetry, but historical fiction remains her true literary home, both as a writer and a reader.

In addition to writing fiction, C. K. teaches literature, history, culture, and film at a university in Texas. She has also published academic articles, book chapters, and books in her fields of expertise.

With her intensive self-publishing author retreats, set in beautiful and inspiring places such as Scotland, Ireland, and Germany, she combines her love for teaching with her expertise and experience in publishing and self-publishing.

When she’s not writing or teaching, she enjoys spending time with family and friends (including her best boy and corgi, Merlin), reading, hiking, traveling, and playing pickleball.
