My favorite times in history are American colonial and the Renaissance - can anyone recommend a book for those times?

...and after you have enjoyed THE AFFLICTED GIRLS, please take a look at my book about an ill-fated Mennonite settlement in Colonial Delaware, Flesh and Grass. It's available for the Kindle:
http://www.amazon.com/Flesh-and-Grass-e ... 612&sr=8-4

The book I published last year, War on the Margins, is available in the dead-tree version:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/War-Margins-Lib ... 809&sr=8-1
It is about the German occupation o f the Channel Islands during WWII (I unwittingly wrote the 'prequel' to The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society).

456 pages, A Paperback Original (also available as an eBook), Historical Fiction

This is a new theory of what happened in Salem Village in 1692 . . . and it isn't what anyone thinks.

(See my separate post with the book info or go to http://www.theafflictedgirls.com)

I look forward to discussing my story and research with all readers of historical fiction and with anyone else interested in this subject

I will definitely be adding your book to my list to read! It sounds like a page turner! :)

I love historical fiction - and I'm always looking for a new read. Suzy, I'll check out your book. I also just finished an interesting book I found by accident on Kindle called Crystals of Yukitake. It's a historical fantasy type novel and was very well written.
