I am attending the Historical Novel Society North America Conference this week, which includes presentations by a wide range of best-selling historical fiction writers including Margaret George; Elizabeth Chadwick; Nancy Bilyeau; Sarah Woodbury, who writes on medieval Wales; and Sarah Penner, whose novel centres on an 18th century female apothecary. The conference features sessions with publishers, agents and publicists, as well as conversation rooms on Vikings, the Medieval period and many other historical periods. You can find me in the Bookstore and, if you are registered for the conference, in the Exhibit Faire.
