MOBILE, Ala. — Patti Callahan may be among the most prolific authors working in Alabama today, and her latest historical novel is drawing on themes from one of her earlier works.
In the past three years alone, Callahan has published three works of historical fiction. Her newest, “Once Upon a Wardrobe,” is closely tied to her 2019 novel “Becoming Mrs. Lewis,” which explored the unusual relationship between poet Joy Davidman and author C.S. Lewis.
In between those books, she also released the historical novel “Surviving Savannah.” They follow more than a dozen contemporary fiction novels Callahan has written since publishing her first in 2004.
