Hello guys,
I thought I'd introduce myself. I've just started writing a historical novel but my main passion is reading, I particularly enjoy the Napoleonic Wars and the Romans but if anyone has any other suggestions for good titles to read I'm open to new ideas.

Hiya Felix and Welcome!!
One or two of our members here have written novels about the Romans and my personal favourite is Manda Scott. What period is your HF set?
