Quaestor2000, publisher of LIBERTAS, can be visited here. You'll find plenty of excellent historical fiction, always accurate, always entertaining.
That's All She Read has become one of my favourite historical fiction review sites, not just because author, blogger and song-writer Nan Hawthorne reviewed Libertas there, but because she kept me up to speed with her progress as she read (she is blind and uses the latest technology to read) and asked several searching questions. So you can trust her reviews: they are extremely thorough and always objective!
Historical novelist Carla Nayland and supreme blogger has some brilliant links for readers and writers alike. To visit Carla's site, click HERE.

Other great reads from Quaestor include Landwaster by Michael Burr

AND FINALLY: The Menopausal Gardener is nothing to do with historical fiction except that she married me and deserves recognition for that alone! Brilliant site about our life in Spain and growing exotic Mediterranean plants including olives, a multitude of herbs and tons of fruit.
