Praise for The Secret History of Famous People "When you at last put down Rich Elliott’s newest collection of stories – tales of the “famous-adjacent,” from a notorious gunslinger’s best pal to the long-suffering sister of the world’s greatest female poet -- you will resent the ordinary world for interrupting you." --JACQUELYN MITCHARD, best-selling author of The Deep End of the Ocean “I truly enjoyed spending time with the characters—real and imagined—in this marvelous collection. Elliott pays careful attention to the inner lives of historical figures you think you know, revealing new facets of their experiences and creating captivating and transporting tales.” —KELLY O’CONNOR MCNEES, author of The Myth of Surrender and Undiscovered Country "I laughed and marveled all through this superb and brilliant anthology, and will never view history in quite the same way, looking through the various feats to the real person who may have been beneath. Next time you’re looking for a fabulous read, pick up Rich Elliott’s The Secret History of Famous People. You won’t be able to put it down.” —JON MICHAEL MILLER, Reader’s Favorite |
