Stories with a Purpose

  • Chivalry

  • Historical Fiction
  • Scholarly Nonfiction
Welcome! I am Aaron Gruben, Texas author and veterinarian. An article I read in high school about the Crusades inspired me to start writing historically accurate stories – especially on topics that have become either distorted by political or social bias or have been forgotten by today’s general public. By combining careful scholarship with imaginative storytelling, I hope to make truth much more interesting than pure fiction.

Chivalry School Studies

I have studied and written on medieval times and chivalry since high school. It’s thrilling to me to introduce historical concepts of chivalry and bring its modern applications in studies for children and adults. I have two studies, one for elementary students and one for high schoolers (to adult). They are a combination character and history school study with study questions, projects, information, memory verses, and more.
