Sobre mim I work as a reference librarian at Eastern Illinois University. In my spare time, I'm also a writer and book review editor. My book Historical Fiction: A Guide to the Genre was published in 2005. I'm in the process of working on v.2, covering historical novels published through 2008.
Sobre a minha biblioteca I read and collect historical novels, and revel in collecting (and reading, of course) obscure biographical novels on royalty. Frequent subjects in my collection: historical fiction, fantasy, mystery, British sagas, linguistics, French literature, romance. The computer books and technothrillers belong to my husband. I have about 1200 more books besides what's listed here, but they don't have ISBNs and I'm not up to entering them all in manually.
As of June 2006 I'm officially out of bookshelves, but new books are still arriving. Let the double-stacking begin! One of these days I'll get around to tagging everything, but it may take a while.

If you enjoy Australian historical fiction I though I might just mention a few recommendations that I have read and enjoyed.
The Lambing Flat by Nerida Newton
Mr Darwins Shooter by Roger McDonald
The Dig Tree by Sarah Murgatroyd (Non fiction but brilliant)
My Brother Jack by George Johnston
The Journal of Fletcher Christian by Peter Corris
The True History of the Kelly Gang by Peter Carey

Yes The Captive Wife is a wonderful story and right up your alley if you enjoy historical fiction. I read this with an online bookgroup of mine and we read predominantly Australian literature and a few others thrown in throughout the year. This is based on true events and characters namely Betty Guard who was kidnapped by a Maori cheif along with her two children.It is well researched and I really enjoyed the narrative structure of the different perspectives from each of the characters. I have been looking for more of her work and did find a copy of 'Songs from the Violet Cafe' on Bookmooch but this is not historical fiction.
I will be interested to hear what you think of Black Diamonds =)
BTW are you a Bookmoocher?
Jenny

Just me again. Also looked at the books that we share on our bookshelf. You have a few Australian authors and I have recently read The Captive Wife also and she is a New Zealand author. Do you have a fondness for our authors or just coincidence.

Just wanted to say we are the only two people listing Black Diamonds. I really enjoyed this and was lucky to receive a free advance readers edition from Harper Collins here in Australia. Where did you find out about this book as it is quite a new release.

Thanks for accepting my friend request. I see you have my debut novel--MAIDENSONG--and the related title--ERINSONG--on your shelf. Hope you enjoyed them!

Well, I bought The Fourth King on the strength of your "recommendation" so now there are two of us with this book (but it's ok it wasn't expensive and I'm interested in Pushkin & his wife, Russian lit. & history, and historical novels in general, so it should be fine).
Thanks, Grant

I see you are the only person on LT who has a copy of The Fourth King by Glen Petrie - I would be interested in your opinion of it (if you have in fact read it) as I am thinking of buying it myself.

I see you've got Justin Allen's novel _Slaves of the Shinar_ too. I really liked it and wonder what you thought of it if you've had a chance to read it yet. I'm not a huge reader of historical fiction but as you obviously are I'm interested to hear what you thought. (My favorite 'general' aspect of the book was how it fell between fantasy and historical fiction but I can see how that might not be for everyone.)
escrito por MLister às 10:57 pm (EST) em Dec 6, 2007
Ah, so it's the same HNS. I used to belong to it but had to leave all clubs and societies when money got too stretched. I must rejoin. The review for A Tabernacle for the Sun was great and I've since become friends with the reviewer, Towse Harrison. That was the first novel of a trilogy, and the final proofs of the final novel were sent off yesterday. I sat on them for two weeks unable to say goodbye. In the end I just shoved them out of the nest without saying a word. Now it's the Tudors. . .

Thanks for the response. I'll certainly keep you posted about the historical fiction course. Is the Historical Fiction Society in US or UK?

I'm delighted to see that you have one of my books, that you have the same problem with bookshelves, and most of all to hear about your reference work on historical novels which I shall be ordering. I've been asked to do a summer school for Oxford University next year on historical fiction and to my dismay (but not my surprise) found almost nothing on the subject on Amazon uk. Historical fiction in the UK is the genre that dare not speak its name. Perhaps the OU course will do a little to help that situation.
All best

I guess the precise way of putting it is that I've read more of the collection that I've catalouged so far. I have a long way to go before most of my books are added to LT. I am trying to ensure that anything new goes up with the date of aquisition and everything I read gets logged with a start and end date.
I noticed that both you and Hoagy (another of the LT'ers I converse with) have 'She Was A Queen' in common. I very much enjoyed that - and was lucky to find an early edition of the book in Adelaide.
Cheers

great collection you have. I loved your link to 'Welcome Back Potter' a few months back.
Just a quick note to say we have half my library in common - I still have a long way to go to catch up to you.

It's Marcia again. I left you a comment earlier about what a wonderful reference guide you've written on historical fiction. I have a question that I hope you won't mind answering if you're able. In all your research have you come across a good web site for the genealogy of royal families? I'm reading a lot in that genre right now and at times I find it very confusing to keep everyone straight, considering they use same names over and over. Family trees to refer to would be extremely helpful.
Thank you for your time,
Marcia

After spending a couple of hours Saturday in the library with your wonderful book I then went home and ordered it. What a resource, even for us lay people. I did notice that you're working on an update. Do you have a target release date you're willing to share?
Marcia

To tell you the truth, I'm working a historical fiction myself right now about ancient Egypt. I hope you like that era. Presuming I get a publisher for it, I'd love to send you a copy.

I am with you on the double-shelving. There is no way on earth we have room for all these books, and they keep coming, because I can't stop buying them. We already rented a storage unit for stuff and some of our books are in there. (Unfortunately, I always want the books that are in there.)

Nice to see someone else with a copy of Book 6! I bought Dowerless Sisters from Amazon UK back when it was still in print, which was maybe ten years ago. I don't think many people are aware that it exists. Had no idea it was a collectors' item, but you're right, the prices! yikes. Mine isn't hardcover, so probably not as collectible, but I'm glad I have it anyway.

Yes, I remember enjoying Beyond the Sacred Page. I think there's a sequel, isn't there? Have you read that one?
Water for Elephants is a pretty new acquisition, and I haven't gotten to it yet. Nor Poisonwood Bible. Are you a library cataloger? That's one big advantage - I like getting books as soon as they arrive!
escrito por ariadne02 às 8:28 pm (EST) em Jul 20, 2006
I'm also wanting to get Water for Elephants...it looks really good. How did you like that one?
Anyhoo, we share only a few books, but they are good books! :) Poisonwood Bible is one of my favorites. I remember cataloging it for my library when it came out...and I was one of the first to take it on loan! :)

Re: Alfred Silver, I just found his author page on the Writers' Federation of Nova Scotia website. Shame that more Canadian historical novelists aren't well known in the US. I hadn't realized he'd written so many.

Latrell - Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check it out! I enjoyed Eugenia Price's novels.
escrito por ariadne02 às 4:14 pm (EST) em Apr 28, 2006
We share a love of historical novels. We both have Eugenia Price's Florida trilogy. I am a Florida native of Minorcan descent, and I a writer. My book INDIGO is a historical novel set in 18th century Florida. I'll bet you would love it. It has romance, mystery, adventure, tragedy, triumph, Indians, Minorcan colonists, and pirates under the English and Spanish flags. Check out my profile.
