This probably looks bad, but I have to go find out who Bernard Cornwell is. Yep, I'm un-edujumakated. If you ever do write historical fiction though, I'd love to read it. While I don't enjoy the idea of writing it, I love reading it.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07823808700523297184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8429961999468918859.post-27863864461276712010-09-13T13:00:06.760-06:002010-09-13T13:00:06.760-06:00Lovely post!

Perhaps that's why sometimes the two genres seem linked (besides the fact that many fantasties are set in different historical eras).Sandra Ulbrich Almazanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15365908651235829765noreply@blogger.com
