Hello!

Welcome to my cozy little home on the Internet. Sit back and enjoy your visit. To begin, allow me to introduce myself--my name is Amy Puetz (pronounced Pitts). I’m a homeschool graduate and servant of Christ. There is one thing that you will notice right away about my site and that is that I LOVE history! I’ve always loved to learn about historical events and people who impacted their generation. Because of a chronic illness (fibromyalgia) that limits what I can do, the Lord led me to start an online business which I can do from home. This website is the result of several years of work and I hope you enjoy your visit. (Read a longer bio.)

Where should you go first? See all my writing projects in the Store. Most of my books focus on historical women and girls but there are some books for the entire family too. Under the Explore History section there are hundreds of historical resources available from other companies. Click on a link and it will take you to another website where you can purchase the item. My personal favorite is the costume page! If you need a computer graphic designer I also do contract work for others, see the details on the Graphic Artists page. And last but not least if you want to stay up-to-date on new releases, receive special discounts, and subscribe to Heroines of the Past e-zine (a fabulous e-newsletter for ladies of all ages) please join my mailing list.

Thanks for coming by. I hope you enjoy looking around!!!

When I was a teenager if anyone had told me that one day I would write books I would have laughed in their face. Me a writer? You’ve got to be kidding! But sometime God opens up a door that we would never have imagined going through on our own. That’s what happened to me in writing. My ambition was to be an archeologist but during my high school years I began experiencing unbearable fatigue and pain. As I approached graduation I realized that I needed to rethink my plans for the future. The Lord led me to take a correspondence course to become a computer graphic designer. After completing the course I was hit with a most sensational idea--write a historical costume book! This book combined several of my passions--history, sewing, designing, and photography. Since then I’ve built up a business selling historical items and writing historical books. Visit the Store!

If people a hundred years from now wanted to learn about our era, how would they find out about it? Books, pictures, movies, and journals, would be good places to start. To fully understand anything we should use our five senses to explore it. In regards to history we might dress up in a historical costumes to activate the senses of sight and feeling; we might enjoy a vintage meal to experience the senses of taste and smell; and we might listen to historical music to stimulate the sense of hearing. Whenever teaching or learning about history, try to incorporate as many of the senses as possible. It will move history from boring facts to exciting reality.
You will find many essential tools on this site for exploring history and bringing it to life.
