Show and tell: Historical Fiction



I'm here with my stack of indie historical fiction! In the comments below, tell me the best indie historical you've ever read.

And the lovely historical fiction written by our Indie e-Con authors. Please note that I have not personally read every book listed below (though I have read something by every author), so listing below is not necessarily a GiraffeCrafts' endorsement.

Mild caution for violence and romance.


  

 

 
(Emmeline's author was an Indie e-Con author last year, but unfortunately did not have the time to commit to the event this year -  BUT I STILL WANTED TO SHOUT HER OUT!)

 
Caution for wartime violence

Caution for mild violence and time-travel magic
(Blog Tour sign up for Swords of Time is now open!)
    

  


Biographies:

Mild caution for violence. Also, while the author is indie published, this particular volume was traditional, hence the price.

    I’ve read some wonderful historical indie fiction! I’ll highlight two: Sufficient Grace by Jessica Greyson (intriguing Western with great characters and plot!) and Patience Royale, whose debut novel Midnight Justice is releasing this August! It’s also a Western, and Patience has a gift for painting pictures with words and crafting vivid description that just leaves me staring in awe at the page. :) She just put up a website (http://patienceroyale.blogspot.com/p/behind-desk.html) and a Facebook author page for staying updated. :)

    That's a lot of historical fiction. Wow.
    Basically all the historical fiction I've read in the last five or six years was traditionally published, and probably made up less than 5% of my overall reading intake. So . . . yeah. :P

Handling the Physical with Tammy Lash

Image
How far is too far? Kissing? Handholding? How do you handle the physical part of writing your romances? (I mean, it has to be addressed unless your romance is confined 100% to letter writing). I have Tammy Lash here with us today to talk about just that. Tammy's the author of a lovely romance novel called White Wolf and the Ash Princess , a book that was completely not what I explected and reduced me to a sobbing mess of tears. (Internally, at least.) Over to you, Tammy! Tammy Lash Christian/Romance/Historical Fiction Author of The White Wolf and the Ash Princess Blog ~ Amazon ~ Goodreads ~ Facebook ~ Twitter ~ Instagram ~ Pinterest  Keep Monsters from Your Romance  (Tried and True Monster Rules on How to Handle the Physical in Our Books)     Can you believe it? I’m pushing fifty! I know, I know. I can’t believe it, either. Other people have a hard time believing it, too, I guess—well, at least that’s what my kids tell me. No, I’m not va...

Introducing: The Arista Challenge

Image
Well hello, everyone! I imagine that most of you know about the Rooglewood Fairy Tale contests, where everyone scrambles to rewrite the same fairy tale in hopes that their story will one of the five selected for the coveted collection Five Something Something.  I wrote for three of the four collections, CinderEddy for Five Glass Slippers , Poison Kiss for Five Magic Spindles, and The Seven Drawers and Red as Snow for Five Poison Apples.  Unfortunately, The Seven Drawers  was the only story that I was able to finish in time to send it in (And I'm now waiting with bated breath to find out whether or not I won.) Unfortunately, Poison Apples was their last contest. So, we were talking in the Facebook Group about how sad we'd be to lose the community. And I had a thought. I can't offer a contest, but I can continue the challenge. The picking of a fairy tale and the writing together with fury. I can't offer a single collection with cash prizes, but I can offer a joi...

Accurate Dialogue with Kelsey Bryant

Image
I have Kelsey Bryant here with us today to tackle a controversial subject indeed - historically accurate dialogue. We don't live back then, so how can we possibly even come close to sounding like we do? But, then, our readers don't live back then, either, and we might confuse them... Kelsey is the author of the lovely Suit and Suitablity , a Depression-era retelling of Sense and Sensabilty which is my newest favorite book. Seriously, I can't recommend this story highly enough. Kelsey Bryant Christian/Contemporary/Historical Fiction/Retellings Author of Suit and Suitability Website ~ Blog ~ Amazon ~ Goodreads ~ Facebook Copyediting Historically accurate dialogue is one of those controversial topics that only historical fiction lovers debate. We know that dialogue is crucial—it brings the world of a book to life, and if it isn’t done right, readers can never fully immerse themselves in that world. So how is historical fiction dialogue done right? Well, her...
