About me

Introduction	I am Canadian academic who does research in historical fiction. Even though historical novels regularly make it onto Canadian bestseller lists, surprisingly little is known about their readers: who they are, and what it is that draws them to the genre. If you like to read historical novels and to write about them, then this site is for you. Together, we can create a virtual community of readers and, over time, understand better what it is that draws us to read (and re-read) the books we love.
