[Ansteorra] Period novels [was Newcomer Question]

[Connie Carroll]

Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's is a scholar who throughtly researches everything for
her novels. Just take a look at her acknowledgement lists. Her research is
one of the reasons I strongly recommend her books.

While I also loved Blood Games, Blood Roses during the time of the Medicis
is marvalous!

 history come alive.  Her books are very readable, and have kept me up into
