What's Inside an Envelope?
Finch and Hawk: The Klondike Letters is historical fiction told in an unusual way: through 24 physical envelopes mailed to readers over time. Each envelope works like a chapter and contains letters, diary pages, newspaper clippings, advertisements, and other period-inspired artifacts, creating a tactile story experience readers can unfold piece by piece.
The Story
In 1897, the Klondike Gold Rush draws dreamers, schemers, and fortune-seekers north. Among them are Elizabeth “Liz” Byrd, a determined journalist writing under the pen name Paula Finch, and Tom Hawk, a restless engineer from Chicago chasing a new life in the Yukon. As Liz fights to be taken seriously in a world of male correspondents and Tom struggles through the brutal realities of the trail, their paths lead through steamships, frozen rivers, boomtown rumors, hungry winters, and the dangerous promise of gold. Around them, the North is changing by the day, filled with real historical figures, desperate choices, and secrets buried beneath the snow.
The Tin Box
Every side of the tin box carries an illustration in the style of the 1890s: a map of the Klondike goldfields on the lid, a night camp on the front, and period-style advertisements on the sides, drawn the way a newspaper engraver would have done them in 1898. It holds all 24 envelopes and everything inside them, so the story stays together after the last letter arrives. A keepsake that outlasts the year it took to read.
