Newman’s non-fiction grew out of her deep knowledge of medieval history and her frustration with how popular culture often distorts the period. The Real History Behind the Da Vinci Code was the first and most commercially successful, appearing in 2005 when Dan Brown’s novel was still a cultural phenomenon, and it worked through the novel’s historical claims one by one with a brisk, readable wit.

The Real History Behind the Templars expanded that approach to focus on one of the most mythologized organizations of the medieval world, separating documented history from centuries of conspiracy and romance. The Real History of the End of the World took a longer view across cultures and millennia, tracing how different societies have predicted and interpreted the end of time. All three books are accessible to general readers while drawing on genuine scholarly grounding.
