Some posts I enjoyed this week: interview with Andrew Levkoff re his Roman series, Mycenaean mine in Greece, interview with Priscilla Royal by Sharon Kay Penman and the Met colorizes the Temple of Dendur
My favorite posts around the web recently: Donis Casey on War Cake, January Magazine on Harper Lee’s 2nd novel and why more women than men read historical fiction, archaeology news about Tutankhamun’s broken beard & Texan pictographs, and a “celebrity” historical fiction interview between Priscilla Royal and Sharon Kay Penman.
Sharon Kay Penman’s epic novel of the latter part of Richard the Lionheart’s life, A King’s Ransom, engages in some literary alchemy.
My weekly web favorites: English beer making, Israeli mosaics, terrible book covers, interviews with Emma Campion & Diana Gabaldon, Sharon Kay Penman’s reading list, debunking religious myths in early America.
My favorites from around the web this week: Mycenaean and Etruscan archaeology, Elizabeth I comes alive in Barbara Kyle’s hands, writing historical fiction by Jessica McCann and the world’s oldest slam poetry and novel.
