Day Al Mohamed has posted a striking infographic and some thoughts about what it takes to win the literary day these days.
... and Sarah Johnson at HNS (Hisorical Novel Society, y'all) tells us the most popular centuries in histfic right now. This is very interesting to me - though my period doesn't seem to be burning it up these days.
The Ax and the Vase will change all that, of course.

Just anecdotally, I keep hearing about people who are writing about the Franks--typically Charlemagne, of course, but I do think a big advantage of the Clovester is that he and his period are fresh. (When you did your public pitch at the JRW conference last year, people seemed genuinely intrigued by this big-deal king they knew they should have heard of before...)
I only know one other author working in the period, myself but am probably not getting out enough. :)
Thank you - the response was even better this year, with a much improved pitch (and not having to go first!). Ax will sell. I just have to get it out!
