— odds, ends, and things worth your time —
Top Shelf
Great work deserves an audience — even when it isn't mine.
Every so often I come across an author, a tool, or a site I genuinely think you'd like — history-related or not. This is where I keep them. Everything here earned its place because I recommend it myself, not because anyone paid for the spot. These sites are independent of Never Just a Footnote, but if something here catches your eye, I'd call that a win.
A note on honesty: any affiliate or partner links will be marked as such. Everything else here is just something I genuinely think is worth your time.

WHY I RECOMMEND IT
If you've spent any time around me, you know I'm passionate about helping kids fall in love with American history. That's why I was so excited to discover J.E. Ribbey's books. They're doing exactly what I hope more authors will do—telling compelling stories that make history feel real while encouraging young readers to explore our nation's past. We need more people creating this kind of work, and I believe they're well worth supporting.
BEST FOR
Anyone who loves American history and wants to pass that love on to the next generation.
More coming soon — including fellow authors, tools & resources, and anything else worth passing along.
