HT News

I am very, very behind on my blog reading, so expect this issue of HT News to be huge in terms of giveaways! Here goes.

Robin Maxwell has written a very interesting piece for The Huffington Post on how the online world has changed promotion for authors over the last few years.

Anna Elliott has unveiled the trailer to her upcoming release, Dark Moon of Avalon. Head on over to Youtube to take a look.

Deanna Raybourn has been interviewed over at All About Romance about her upcoming novel The Dead Travel Fast. This book is not part of the successful Lady Julia Gray series, and it is one that I am very much looking forward to! There is also a chance to win a copy of the book.


One of our favourite historical fiction bloggers, Meghan from Medieval Bookworm, is going to be appearing on That's How I Blog a bit later in the year, and she is going to be talking about The Time Traveller's Guide to Medieval England by Ian Mortimer. To help other's read the book before the radio appearance, Meghan is giving away three copies of the book to anyone with a US address.

Serena from Savvy Verse and Wit is giving away a copy of Jamie Ford's Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet. Be quick. This giveaway ends on February 5. We also are giving away a copy of this book.

You can win a copy of Robin Maxwell's O, Juliet over at All Things Royal, and also at The Burton Review where you need to share your favourite literary lovers. Other chances to win are available at Enchanted by Josephine and Historically Obsessed (these two close on 5 February so be quick), and at Hist-Fic Chick, The Maiden's Court, Passages to the Past and Historical-Fiction.com. These giveaways are all part of the Historical Fiction Round Table blogging event. As part of that same event,Arleigh (from Historical-Fiction.com) also has some Romeo and Juliet inspired giveaways that aren't books! Check out the details here, here and here!

Julianne from Writing the Renaissance is also giving away a copy of O, Juliet.


Marie from The Burton Review has interviewed Ciji Ware about her recently re-released book, Island of the Swans. You can also win a copy of the books, so please be sure to check it out. Amy from Passages to the Past is also giving away a copy of the same book.

Amy is also giving away two copies of Katherine McMahon's Rose of Sebastopol and five copies of Drood by Dan Simmons.

Over at Scandalous Women you can win a copy of Wench by Dolen Perkins-Valdez.
