Hello from Caroline!

Post by Storygirl96 » Thu March 1st, 2012, 1:34 pm

Hi!!!!!!!!

My name is Caroline and I recently finished a set of novels--Mystique and Shadow--about Helen of Troy's sister Klytemnestra!
Looking forward to getting to know all the great people on here and hopefully finding someone who's as obsessed with ancient Greece as I am! :)

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.
