HNS Reviews

The Historical Novel Society has been a big help to me both as a writer and a reader; to give something back, I contribute reviews to Historical Novels Review and HNR Online. On this page I'll archive those reviews. If you enjoy historical fiction I recommend giving the HNS a look—it's a wonderful resource and a great bunch of people.
