I would think the average writer would recognize the modern terms not belonging in their stories.  I for one who would never even attempt to write in a time period because I see everyday how real authors on Facebook research and even travel just to write one book!  |
I have learned so much history from HR over the years. When I read one with really great detail I am thrilled.

Believe it or not I had never heard of Roberta Gellis till I was a member here so no I have not read her so which books should I start with? I got some of her books for free and on sale.

Can you tell me which ones you have? She has several series and if I remember correctly you really like to read them in order. Her most famous series is The Roselynde Chronicles and it starts with Roselynde.

Added the Kinsale ones to my list! I have been meaning to read her books. I don't mind reading a paperback at all if it's clean and wont break me out in hives.  I've bought a few used ones that I have to wear gloves to read with but this is why I always try to get Like New books if I can. ebooks has saved me alot of annoyance with my sensitive allergies. My Bride of Lion copy is in good shape so I added it to my TBR list.

When you read any of them you'll have to let us know what you think!
