Haha, Thanks so much for this! Getting my hands on the Pompeii book for Christmas, and this list of the other authors is excellent. Thank you.
My pleasure! I love spreading the word about great books.
Good call - Stephanie Dray is EXCELLENT!
oh...and also Stephanie Thornton! And thanks for reading my review :)
Henry Treece is worth checking out too - in particular Jason, and Electra. To some he may be dated. I don't think he has. I did read one online critic who criticised his male chauvenism, which I think misses the point. Treece was getting into the head of boy damaged in childhood by women, and living in a bronze aged macho culture. I'm ramblng, so just saying: Henry Treece
Thank you for your reccomandations. Your books are amazing!
YES! I read "A Day of Fire" last year, which eventually led me to "The Alice Network." Two completely different stories, and but equally superb writing! Kate Quinn, I love how you can take any time period and put me there in the moment with flawed, compelling characters. PS re: "A Day of Fire:" Last summer the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry had an exhibit with artifacts from Pompeii, which made the novel even more real to me. Mt Vesuvius destroyed Pompeii in August 79 AD. More than 1900 (nearly TWO THOUSAND) years later, scientists have replanted vineyards from grape seeds preserved in the ashes. Awe inspiring.
I just finished The Huntress, you have changed my life, wow this is sooooooooooo good, keep writing and I will keep buying, you are great!!!!!
My 2c here is Lindsey Davis and the Falco books, they are great. I've never read your books Kate, but you popped up as a recommendation and I'm not sure how I missed them. Will get started asap!
I am reading the Alice Network and love it so far. I can see Miley Cyrus playing Lili in a movie version! Please get a movie out of this !!
I just finished reading your latest article on Goodreads, and wow, what a captivating piece! Your ability to weave historical fiction with such depth and authenticity always leaves me in awe. I was completely immersed in the world you created, feeling like I was right there alongside your characters, experiencing every twist and turn.
Your attention to detail is impeccable, and it's clear that you put a lot of research into your writing. The way you bring history to life, blending facts with fiction seamlessly, is truly commendable. Not only did I enjoy the thrilling plot, but I also learned so much about the time period and the intricacies of the characters' lives.
Looking forward to diving into more of your work!
I'm so glad to see you mention Judith Merkle Riley. I've always loved her books and no one ever really mentions her.
Bernard Cornwell's Saxon Stories are addicting!
