Savannah Oldham Author

Hello writing community! I'm new here, so I thought I'd say hi. My name is Savannah, and I'm a 19-year-old author with a passion for military history, philosophy, classical music, poetry, etc. I'm working on two books: one post-WWI and one military high fantasy. Happy to be here!

Thought I'd introduce you all to an upcoming short story I wrote titled "Wounds of the Flesh, Wounds of the Soul". It's been a trip trying to find a publisher for this piece. I still haven't found one yet, but I keep hoping I'll see that acceptance letter so that I can share this…

Some recent book mail. I finally got the last two books in Jack Carr’s Terminal List series. I got the first three a little while ago, and after I completed reading Savage Son, I decided to take a break and read Crime and Punishment since it had been on my list for a while (a…

Happy birthday Ernest Hemingway! Born July 21, 1899. Author of A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, The Old Man and the Sea, and more.

Name your top 3-5 favorite movies/tv shows. These are mine at the moment (it’s ever changing): A River Runs Through It Amadeus Band of Brothers Lord of the Rings trilogy (I’m counting that as one lol) Fury Bonus: Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (because I’m a sentimentalist)…

Another favorite, by AE Housman: Here dead lie we because we did not choose      To live and shame the land from which we sprung. Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose;      But young men think it is, and we were young.

Describe your favorite book badly and let others guess what it is.

I've shared excerpts from this poem in the past, but today I wanted to share the whole thing because it is one of my favorites. It was written in May of 1915 by John McCrae after the death of a close friend. McCrae was a physician, a soldier, and a poet: In Flanders fields the…

I wasn’t expecting so many people to stop and say hello and welcome me into the writing community here on X, so thank you to everyone who did! I really appreciate the support!

Happy birthday, America 🇺🇸

Happy Fourth of July from freedom’s wingman – the U.S. Air Force! #FlyFightWin 🇺🇸

Michelangelo was only 23 years old when he built the famous Pietà.

Happy 4th of July! I'd recommend, as part of your celebration today, to read the Declaration of Independence and to remember those who protect the freedom we cherish. But also, I hope you all have fun grilling and watching fireworks blow up lol. #IndependenceDay #4thofJuly

“...we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” I highly encourage all Americans to read the Declaration of Independence today and every Fourth of July as a tribute to those who pledged their Lives, their Fortunes and their sacred Honor so…

Today, we celebrate our independence because of guys like this. Enjoy today, but let's give thanks to those who fought so hard for the future of our world. Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

For the longest time, I couldn't find the name of this statue. It drove me crazy because I think it's one of the most beautiful pieces of art ever created. It's called the Pietà by Michelangelo, and it depicts Mary holding her son Jesus after he came down from the cross. #art
