Re: What Are You Reading? February 2024
This is an announcement for regular readers: Does anyone else want to take over the forum? the hosting cost has just gone up a bit -- it's about $120 per year -- and as I have increasingly limited vision, I'm not able to participate much. If nobody wants the responsibility or the cost, the site wil...

Re: Nero / Early Christian Church
Maybe Francine Rivers' Roman series? Not that old-- I think 1980s. But the first one is A Voice in the Wind.

Re: Nero / Early Christian Church
The novel is likely Quo Vadis, by unpronounceable Polish guy. Here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/Quo-Vadis-Novel-Henryk-Sienkiewicz/dp/1536843334 Alternately, it might have been the Silver Chalice, by Thomas Costain. https://www.amazon.com/Silver-Chalice-Thomas-B-Costain-ebook/dp/B07TWTNVYC/ref...

Re: Book Icons on Main Page
A great book! I just googled Colleen McCullough and was surprised to discover she's passed on. Can you find a cover image? Preferably an old one, I don't know how long Australian copyright runs, altho any publisher would be an idiot to nix free promotion. But there are a lot of idiots around, and it...

Re: Book Icons on Main Page
Actually, the banner isn't meant to be the best ever, it's just what I could cobble together in a hurry, and, as I'm fairly neglectful, I've never gone back to update it, since that would mean jogging my old brain as to how the process was originally done. But the reason those books are up there is ...

Re: Balancing Historical Accuracy With Modern Ideas
Sounds like you picked the wrong era. For your purposes, go back to Rome or Greece. History is what it is. If you tried to write a scenario with Ghengis Khan as a peacemaker, it would just be silly. This is in the same vein. Most HF readers want to learn something useful. Re-framing what really happ...

Re: Arthurian Literature
Hi Flicka! If you like horses and HF, may I suggest you try my novel Barbarossa's Barb? I slid in a ton of accurate information about how a horse brain works as the plot spins along -- part of it is from the point of view of a stolen stallion (the Barb in the title) who has had years working with on...
