Lindsay Townsend has founded two new Yahoo groups that may appeal to you. The first is called Historical Romance Excerpts and Promos, which is for both writers and readers. Writers will be able to promo whenever they want and can add their photos covers and excerpts in the files. All sub-genres of historical romance most welcome. The second is Historical Fiction Excerpts, which is for writers and readers of all historical genres, including historical crime, adventure, war, fantasy, relationship novels, romance and so on.

Join us Sunday when Lindsay Townsend will be here to chat about her latest medieval romance, A KNIGHT'S ENCHANTMENT. She'll also be giving away a signed copy to one lucky commenter! Be sure to join us then.

We'll also draw the winner of Isabelle Santiago's CINEMATIC ROYALTY guest appearance on Sunday. You still have time to leave a comment or question for your chance to win.

Stay with us through the coming weeks when we'll be featuring the best unusual historical authors! Margaret Mallory, Carrie Lofty, Laura Navarre, and Jack Woodville London will be our guests. Join us!

Have a good weekend! Remember, you don't have to be an Unusual Historicals contributor to submit good news to the weekend announcements. If it has to do with unusual historicals, we'd love to shout it out to the world! Send announcements to Carrie. See you next week...
