Well, I AM Christian Cameron (thanks Jason) and I appreciate the push. :blush: But let me recommend Dorothy Dunnett, both the Niccolo series (15th c.) and the Francis Crawford (16th c. Scotland) and the 'King Hereafter' (Viking era Macbeth) as well as S.K. Penman and --well, and virtually all the other books recommended here. Duggan for sure. And does anyone else read Cecelia Holland? She can be bleak--as in everyone dies bleak--but she sure knows her history. |
What a pleasant surprise, I was just about to recommend your book The Ill-Made Knight when I saw that you had posted here. I recently purchased the kindle version off Amazon due to previous recommendations in this thread and loved it. Excellent characters that felt historical in their thoughts and motives rather than modern. Moreover, I was surprised at how exciting and visceral you were able to render medieval battles in prose. de Charny's last stand at Poitiers in particular left a powerful impression. I'll be sure to check out your other works as well since this one was so much fun to read.
