HT News

Sorry there hasn't been any news this week! It has been a very busy week around the blogosphere in terms of giveaways, guest posts and interviews, especially given the BBAW celebrations and the Historical Fiction Bloggers Round Table, and I haven't been around a lot because it has been a very momentous week for me as well. There are a couple of things that I would liked to highlight though!

Special congratulations go to Heather from Age 30+ Books who won the BBAW Award for Best Historical Fiction/History award.

The Historical Fiction Bloggers Round Table looks to have been a roaring success. Marie from The Burton Review has a good summary post here of all the things that are going on, including on going giveaways.

Congratulations to Elizabeth Kerri McMahon from Scandalous Women who has announced that she recently signed a book deal to author a book of the same title about some of the fascinating women in history.

I am sure that there are lots more of exciting things around to share, but I am so far behind on my blog reading that anything else will have to wait for the next edition of HT News!
