    Amelia Ann Blanford Edwards was born on 7th June 1831 in Islington, London.  She was educated at home by her mother and showed early promise as a writer, publishing her first poem at the age of 7 and her first story at 12.  Thereafter several popular periodicals published her poetry, stories and articles. 
In addition she also illustrated some of her own writings and painted scenes from books she had read.  This talent was not supported by her parents, who saw an artist’s life as scandalous.  Undeterred Amelia took up composing and performing music until a bout of typhus caused throat damage.  Other interests soon followed until, early in the 1850s, Amelia focused exclusively on writing.  Her early novels were well received, and with ‘Barbara's History’ in 1864, a work revolving around bigamy, her reputation was established.  
Amelia’s pen was also the purveyor of ghost stories for magazines and are still anthologized as classic tales to this day. 
In January 1851, Amelia became engaged, apparently to please her parents, but she quickly broke it off.  In reality her emotional attachments were almost exclusively with women.  From the early 1860s she lived with Ellen Drew Braysher, a widow 27 years her senior, until both women died in early 1892.  During this relationship other women also entered and left her life.  Her frequent travelling companion, Lucy Renshaw, accompanied her to Egypt in the winter of 1873 and there she found a life-changing interest in Egyptology.  Aware of increasing threats from tourism and modern development she became an advocate for their research and preservation.  
To advance the work Amelia largely abandoned much of her writing in favour of Egyptology and even took on strenuous lecture tours to raise funds. 
After catching influenza, Amelia Edwards, ‘the Godmother of Egyptology’ died on 15th April 1892 at Weston-super-Mare.  She was 60.

    Cleopatra was arguably the most famous Queen of ancient history. She was a combination of a Greek lineage, an Egyptian culture and a Roman influence. She was probably the most featured queen in arts, drama and literature in both oriental and western cultures. She is often portrayed as a woman who made use of her physical beauty to control and manipulate others. However, her true power was in her intellectual and strategic abilities.

    In January of 1934, Admiral Richard E. Byrd began an Antarctic expedition that would change his life forever. Already a celebrated explorer, Byrd's expeditions were media sensations on radio and film. On this trip, Byrd had an audacious undertaking in mind: manning a weather station alone, miles from the American base along the coast, through the harsh Antarctic winter. The solitude would bring enlightenment and personal reckoning for Byrd as he struggled to survive the bitter -70 degree temperatures. "This book is the account of a personal experience," Byrd begins. "so personal that for four years I couldn't bring myself to write it."  Despite Byrd's reluctance, the book is a riveting account of survival and endurance.This version of Alone is fully produced with a soundscape of music and atmospheric effects to place you right there with Admiral Byrd through this harrowing adventure. Many voices fill in the other characters that interact with Byrd as he launches his expedition, speaking with him over the shortwave radio. The experience is reflective, beautiful, and gripping. Alone is a survival tale like no other.

    Beneath the Silence 
One woman’s journey from pain to purpose—through heartbreak, loss, and healing. 
For years, she lived beneath the silence—trapped in a world of fear, addiction, and broken promises. A childhood shadowed by chaos gave way to a young adulthood filled with heartache, shattered trust, and desperate struggles to survive. Every day was a battle against the darkness inside and around her. 
But beneath that silence, something fierce and unbreakable was hope. 
She becomes a mother, a sister, a wife, and a student—roles she never imagined for herself but embraces with courage. With every scar she carries, she finds strength. With every tear, she finds grace. Beneath the Silence is a powerful story of resilience that will touch the hearts of anyone who has ever felt lost, broken, or silenced—and remind them that healing is possible, one step at a time. 
This memoir is a raw and honest account of the slow, messy climb from trauma to healing. It is about learning to forgive, learning to love, and learning to believe that a better life is possible—even when it feels out of reach. 
Trinity Lease is a mother, wife, and college student who has transformed her past pain into a story of hope and healing. She believes that sharing our darkest moments can light the way for others.
