True Stories was the fifteenth Big Finish Bernice Summerfield short story anthology. It was released exactly 7 years after the previous Bernice Summerfield anthology, Present Danger. It was released on the same day as Ruler of the Universe, a Bernice Summerfield audio box set which had connections to True Stories.
True Stories featured stories by several newcomers to Big Finish Productions, a couple of whom had already established themselves in other corners of Doctor Who-related fiction.
Publisher's summary
Bernice Summerfield: True Stories features six stories about everyone's favourite archaeologist, with unusual digs, daring missions and more, all set in the Unbound Universe of the recent audios. The writers are Jon Blum & Rupert Booth, Xanna Eve Chown, Tim Gambrell, Matthew Griffiths, Kate Orman & Q, and Victoria Simpson.

These stories won’t tell you how – or if – she makes it home. But they will tell you about some of her adventures in this unbound universe. Some of them are even true…"
