HT News

We'll start today with some Historical Tapestry HT News! We still have a giveaway going for Selene of Alexandria by Faith L Justice (which can be entered here)and coming up during this week we have two other giveaways, as well as the start of a very special author week next weekend, which will have yet more giveaways! If you want to win a book, then keep on visiting us here at Historical Tapestry because there are loads of chances coming up to do just that!

This weekend Velvet from vvb32 is hosting her second Pemberley Ball. The idea is that you time travel to a regency ball hosted at Pemberley. For all the details, head over the announcement page.

On Monday evening from 7pm-9pm EST (US), you can participate in a chat with author Helen Hollick about her book, The Forever Queen. The chat is being hosted at The Bibliophilic Book Blog as part of the Sourcebooks Fall Reading Club.

Arleigh from Historical-Fiction.com has an awesome giveaway running at the moment. There will be four winners. Two will win complete sets of India Edghill's books and another two will win paperback copies of her latest book, Delilah. And there is also provision for international winners, which we love!

The inaugural edition of Alt Hist is now available. Alt Hist "is the new magazine of Historical Fiction and Alternate History. Lovers of historical fiction for too long have been denied outlets for short pieces of fiction, as the number of print and online magazines for historical short fiction is very limited compared to the popularity of fiction set in past times. Alt Hist’s mission is to provide readers with entertaining and well-written short stories with a historical setting, whether portraying actual events or events that could have happened. If you read and enjoy historical fiction, alternate history or historical fantasy then we think you will like Alt Hist."

Other giveaways:

The White Queen by Philippa Gregory at xo.Sorcha.ox
The King's Daughter by Christie Dickason (3 copies) at Passages to the Past
The Last Prince of the Mexican Empire by C M Mayo at Book Drunkard
