Author and blogger M. K. (Mary) Tod recently invited me to write a post for her site about current trends in historical fiction, and I was happy to accept.
Please jump over to A Writer of History to read it, and thanks to Mary for the opportunity!

Lovely article! I wish there weren't so many WWII stories being published. It's not really history for me.
ReplyDeleteThanks! What concerns me most about the continued popularity of WWII (and the 20th century) is the number of novels set at different times that publishers aren't considering. History is extensive, but you wouldn't know it by looking at the output from major publishers in this genre.
