Winners of the Lady's Slipper giveaway

Thanks to everyone who entered the giveaway for Deborah Swift's The Lady's Slipper.  I've enjoyed reading all of your comments, and I agree with what many of you said; the setting for this one is different than the usual, and I'd love to see more novels along the same lines.

The two winners, chosen by the random number generator at Random.org, are Avid_Reader and Mystica... so it looks like these copies will be heading out soon to Canada and Sri Lanka.

I'll be in touch to obtain your mailing addresses.  Congratulations, and I hope you'll enjoy the book as much as I did!

    My library copy just arrived! Three other recent titles set during this period and in England, now available Stateside, are:

    DAUGHTERS OF THE WITCHING HILL by Mary Sharratt

    CORRAG by Susan Fletcher

    LADY OF THE BUTTERFLIES by Fiona Mountain

    All are based on historical incidents and/or figures. I'm sure Sarah Johnson has mentioned all three here but a refresher never hurts . . .

    Thanks for the list, Sarah! I've read Mary Sharratt's book (loved it) and the other two are sitting at home waiting to be read. The 17th century is fast becoming a favorite period.

    ...and another is on the way! Don't yet have a firm date for publication of Moon in Leo, set in Furness, England in 1678 at the time of the Popish Plot, but it should be ready in February/March. I am delighted that there seems to be a growing interest in the period
