Hi, all. I'm new here. I write about medieval Florence (Dante's time and a couple of generations before and after), and my first completed novel, A THING DONE, has just started making the query rounds. (Not fun. But doubtless you know that.) I'm pretty specific about what I write, but I read everything. I'm looking forward to participating in discussions on this site. Thanks for being here.

Calvin, explaining his "fictional autobiography" to Hobbes: "It's the story of my life, but with a lot of things completely made up." Hobbes: "Why would you make up your own life?" Calvin: "Because in my book I have a flame thrower!"

Welcome! And good luck with the querying! That can be such a tough process--just remember, if you can get through it, you'll know you can get through just about anything!

- Interest in HF: started in childhood with the classics, which, IMHO are HF even if they were contemporary when written.
- Favourite HF book: Prince of Foxes, by Samuel Shellabarger
- Preferred HF: Currently prefer 1600 and earlier, but I'll read anything that keeps me turning the page.

Welcome, Tinney. What a coincidence -- I just listened to four lectures on Florence from the Teaching Company. What a fascinating government they had! I always thought of Florence in connection with renaissance art -- I never until now realized that they were primarily a woolen cloth production and export city.
