Our First Review should be published soon

Skarr has found a book that he would like to review / feature on this site, as he was intrigued by the description. The central character is a famous Roman, Quintus Caecilius Metellus and by a curious coincidence, this same character, a famous Roman general, featured in a short story submitted by Skarr some months ago, well before he came across this book.

Update : The author of this book is Debra Tash and her book is titled "Woman of Stone", published by zumayapublications.com

The Books awaiting Review section has accordingly been updated.

The book set in the Victorian Era turned out to be a romance type of novel, not really a work of historical fiction. I think it is all right if the work contained romantic elements and did involve a romantic story at its core, but the work should primarily have a lot of historical detail for this to qualify as a work of historical fiction. Sometimes, authors categorize novels under Historical Fiction but it turns out that there are few details when you actually read the book, except for the names of places and maybe character names and little else. In my mind, that doesn't really count unless there is a sense of history and there are little details that put you in a different time and place from a reader's viewpoint.
