And I say this because I write historical fantasy, or at least my debut series is in that realm.

It seems like a lot of people think historical fiction needs to stick to the same places and eras over and over again, like Victorian England, World War II, and the American Civil War, when there are so many other possibilities to explore. In particular, I'm always on the lookout for Japanese historicals.Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.com
