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.

They should watch those curly cover fonts, they are hard to read. When I first glanced at that squiggly pink text for 'The Warrior's Caress' I read 'the Warrior's Carcass'. :p

I read it the correct way. *smug grin* But I see how you could read the wrong title.

We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!
