About the work

A closer look.

You name one claim about a person, a family, a house, or a street, the kind you half-believe. I go to the primary sources and tell you what holds and what doesn't: what the record actually says, where that came from, and where it contradicts itself. Sources listed with every finding. If a fact rests on a single source, I say so instead of dressing it up. If the claim gives up nothing, you get that plainly and you don't pay for fog. 48-hour turnaround for a single claim; a short written story (roughly 900-1200 words) runs 5 days. One revision included.
