The HNS is a very diverse society and has lots of members who are also romantic novelists. My view is that historical fiction can be entertaining while still being accurate!<BR/><BR/>MHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-55980015452086075722008-04-18T13:48:00.000+01:002008-04-18T13:48:00.000+01:00I believe you can still see some of the medieval s...I believe you can still see some of the medieval streets if you go to Jorvik.

This was very interesing, especially as I subscribe to the Hist Novel email list and can find their list of book reviews a bit too "highbrow" for my tastes. <BR/><BR/>Glad to see that they have you as a romantic novelist there. Hope more of you join! <BR/><BR/>ClorindaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-1725257816381042832008-04-17T14:10:00.000+01:002008-04-17T14:10:00.000+01:00Jane, this weekend taster certainly did that.

We plan to return to York, park up the car and spend a few days exploring the city on foot.<BR/><BR/>MelindaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-44580199946690809482008-04-17T13:56:00.000+01:002008-04-17T13:56:00.000+01:00Jane said ...It sounds as though the conference wa...Jane said ...<BR/><BR/>It sounds as though the conference was really interesting, and set in a fascinating location. If there is a drawback with weekend conferences it's that you simply don't have enough time to explore. On the other hand, a weekend taster may inspire a longer more leisurely visit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
