New HF reference book

[Ariadne]

My latest historical fiction reference book was officially released on Monday :)

Yep... it's got a headless cover! (A rare specimen for the genre... a headless man.) It's a guide to historical novels published in the US since mid-2004, with over 2,700 of them described, annotated, and arranged by sub-genre. It discusses the history of HF and analyzes trends in the field, and it also includes other HF-related resources (this forum's included) and recommended reading lists. More details at the publisher's website (http://www.greenwood.com/catalog/LU8624.aspx).

Oh, and it weighs about 4 lbs. During times when it's not in use, it can be used as a handy doorstop or paperweight.

Congratulations! I love the cover, as you know! ;)And I can't wait to actually see it. What a labor of love. . . Astonishing.

Thanks! And thanks again, CW, for helping me determine the era of the cover! (Admittedly I'm not a costume expert :)

I've posted a review of Historical Fiction II at www.HistoricalNovels.info (http://www.HistoricalNovels.info/Historical-Fiction-II.html). Though I don't usually review nonfiction, this seemed like an obvious case for an exception!

[Ariadne]

I'm delighted by the review, Margaret!
