message 1: by Jane (new)

Jane I wanted to add Ruth Downie, but it wouldn't let me.


message 2: by Beorn (new)

Beorn The idea is you only vote for one so people don't just vote for all their favourites. ;)


message 3: by Beorn (new)

Beorn Oh and Jane it looks like someone has voted for Ruth Downie as I hadn't included her as an option but she's there now so maybe it worked after all?


message 4: by happy (new)

happy This is a hard one :)


message 5: by Beorn (new)

Beorn I forgot I even created this poll until it just came up that a certain author nominated voted (for someone else ;)) and it appeared in my news feed.


message 6: by Patrick (new)

Patrick Raftery so many of my favourite authors


message 7: by Beorn (new)

Beorn How is Jack Whyte a Roman fiction author?
There's a big difference between making King Arthur a Roman and writing a novel set in an actual Roman period...


message 8: by Victor (new)

Victor Bruneski Steven Pressfield didn't write any Roman his-fic...otherwise I would vote for him.


message 9: by Beorn (new)

You're right...
I have a horrible sinking feeling I might have been the one that added him in the first place...

Rome, Greece, whatever!


message 11: by Beorn (new)

Beorn Yeah, they both had swords and helmets and practically the same gods, right!

Exactly!


message 13: by Pearl (new)

Pearl Angeli T.A. Uner is one talented Roman historical fiction author. :)


message 14: by Beorn (new)

Beorn Looks like I knew whose books I'm tracking down next then!


message 15: by Cambelss (new)

Cambelss Aguante Santiago Posteguillo, claro que sí


message 16: by Michelle (new)

Michelle Marc Alan Edelheit's Roman books are actually fantasy, not historical fiction. He shouldn't be on this list.


message 17: by Warren (new)

Warren Obviously this has to go to Robert Graves for I, Claudius which blows all these others out of the water.
