Vicky Alvear Shecter has contributed to two collaborative historical fiction anthologies that align with her interest in the ancient world. A Day of Fire (2014) tells the story of Pompeii’s destruction through multiple perspectives, while A Sea of Sorrow (2017) reimagines the events of the Odyssey.
Both anthologies bring together multiple historical fiction authors, each writing from a different character’s viewpoint. The format suits Shecter’s approach to history, which emphasizes individual human experience within larger historical events.
