Oh, this is brilliant! I'm in - you can find me as Natwriter - and my novel this year is a historical fantasy with a little romance. I'd love to buddy up with anyone in the same niche.

Mine is a historical fantasy too. It's a sequel to my first book which I am now pitching but I want to get ahead of the game as I think my characters have a lot of potential for sequels (did I actually say that. I haven't even published the first one yet!) Mine has romance too. The time period is Post-Roman Britain. When is yours set? and where?

Post-Roman! That's a nice period to play with. Mine starts with bull-leaping in ancient Minoa and ends with a museum heist in modern-day Oxford.

I've been to that site in Crete. Wonderful place - a bit "over-manicured " for modern archeologists but I loved it. They do a sort of modern version of this in Spain now, quite distinct from traditional bull fighting. Quite a jump to modern Oxford!

She gets cursed in Ancient Minoa and she's trying to remove it by stealing back her temple's artefacts from a museum exhibition in Oxford. Unfortunately, a gorgeous police man is getting in the way...

Oh, that's very current too given the push over the last decade or so to return ancient artifacts to their home countries. I'm a museum guide....

I might have to ask you a few questions about museum routines!

The plan (I hope) is a mix of a historical travel diary describing some of her experiences across millienia along with a modern-day fugitive chase and a lot of flirting.

My project is nominally historical fantasy as well. I say that because I do a lot of historical research but itтАЩs set in a fictional place.
