Blog readers' favorite medieval novels, and the giveaway winners

Thanks to everyone who entered the giveaway for two copies of Elizabeth Chadwick's For the King's Favor by commenting with your favorite medieval novels.  If you haven't read back through the comment trail on Elizabeth's post, please take a look for more medieval fiction recommendations.  By far, the top author named was Sharon Kay Penman (ten mentions), and Anya Seton's Katherine was second with three mentions.  Edith Pargeter/Ellis Peters was named twice, as were Diana Norman/Ariana Franklin and Sharan Newman.

And the two copies will be going to... Katherine of Historical Fiction Notebook and Marie B!  Congratulations, and I'll be in touch to obtain your addresses.  I hope you enjoy the books!  Thanks again to Sourcebooks for sponsoring the contest, and to Elizabeth Chadwick for her great post.  There are two other chances to win: visit Elizabeth's own blog and Passages to the Past in order to enter.

    Hello! I posted a comment on your earlier post about the Georgette Heyer Memorial Prize. I have just created a new blog on Blogger mainly to report on progress on Kathleen Herbert's new novel: Moon in Leo. The blog can be found here: http://conswords.blogspot.com/

    Hi Connie, thank you for posting and for the update on Kathleen Herbert's fourth novel! I'd like to include your earlier comment as a separate post here shortly, just to make sure everyone sees it -- she has a number of fans who I'm sure would be interested to hear more.

    Hi Sarah, it's very good to know that Kathleen still has fans in America. It would be great if you could post my more detailed comment, to keep folks updated. As you can guess, the stakes are pretty high now for me, as well as for Kathleen- I have known her most of my life, and am sad that she is not well enough to promote Moon in Leo herself. I so want her to get the recognition she deserves for what is probably her best book. I will post any updates to my blog, and possibly put some extracts from the book, as well as information about the historical and geographical background. Thank you so much for your interest
