This is a project I made for school, our theme was 'History's Worst Criminals'. My team and I ended up choosing The Axeman of New Orleans, a killer whose presence was evident during 1918 and 1919. 

The format of this project is quite mixed, as we've used both pictures/newspapers and text. We thought that newspapers and reports would bring this story to life and perhaps be an opportunity for the reader to feel a part of the investigation. 

Please note that parts of the story have been changed for convenience and for the investigation's sake. I apologize if that causes you any displeasure. In addition, as I was not aware of how the measuring system in America works/worked, I have accidentally made all our characters extremely short. I apologize again.

Hope you enjoy this.

Torn between family loyalties and her need for love and stability, Grace struggles to survive a dangerous world. A historical fiction story set during the War of the Roses. One fateful night, a young woman flees with her family to take sanctuary in the church. The illegitimate daughter of the late king, Grace, is told her uncle Richard has stolen her half-brother, the new king and is seizing power. Her stepmother, Elizabeth Woodville, takes her children and Grace into sanctuary and begins recruiting others to take down Richard. Young Grace is sent on a mission and meets her uncle. His kindness makes her doubt that he is as bad as her stepmother claims. But she sticks to her loyalty to her family even as everything falls apart. Elizabeth's plan fails, Grace's half-brother is taken by force out of sanctuary, and Richard reveals Elizabeth was never legally married to Grace's father, making Richard the king.

Corinna Báthory, 16th-century nobility, is kidnapped and thrown into a male detective academy in present-day Florida. But they grabbed the wrong girl. Season 1 of Agents of Time ***** It's 1585, and things could not possibly be going any slower for Corinna Báthory. Overwhelmed with expectations as Hungarian nobility and the trials and tribulations of becoming a female playwright in a field dominated by men, Corinna would do anything for a change of pace. Of course, there's nothing better to speed up the narrative than being kidnapped...and being accused of being a serial killer. ***** [[ THE WATTY'S 2021 SHORTLIST ]]
