I've been lurking around here for a few days now, reading all the interesting threads and decided it was time I introduced myself so that I can join in.
I've always enjoyed reading historical fiction but although I've always written stories I've never really written anything historical until recently when I became very interested in an old Lancashire legend that I came across after being asked to write a book about 'Old Tales' of Lancashire. It became my first attempt at a real novel (discounting all the ones I wrote from being about ten years old until time constraints made me move to short stories). It's called The de Lacy Inheritance and will be published by Myrmidon in June.
I've just posted off my cheque to join the Historical Novel Society too as I've decided it was time to 'join in' with other readers and writers. But please don't think I'm just here to promote my work. I've already found the discussions interesting and stimulating and I hope that I'll have something to contribute as well.
