I think I will like this site. I just hope I don't spend too much time here!

I have been attempting to write historicals for the past five years and have recently begun submitting. I was introduced to historicals as a nine-year old, when I read Hitty, her First Hundred Years, by Rachel Field. I loved the sweep of the novel, and over the years Historical Novels have remained my favorite reading. It took a lot for me to attempt to create stories of my own.

My present two favorite writers are Sharon Kay Penman and Bernard Cornwell, but there are a lot of other writers whose works entrance me.

Happy reading, everyone.

Good luck with the submission process, Calgal!!! And welcome :]

Although I would reconcile myself to the fact that this forum will be a major time-suck if I was you

In the best way possible, of course!

Good luck with the submission process. It can be a long and frustrating wait.
