Hi John,
I read a great deal of historical fiction.  right now I'm in bernard 
cornwell's telling of the King Arthur myth, quite good but the 
tape  broke so am rereading a book by a favorite author I read a few 
years ago: "gold from crete" by c.s. forester.  I've read everything 
by him I can get.
same for John Steinbeck.  I'm from his home area and I find his 
writing style quite a good model.
you'll find good reading on the division website John.  I've written 
nonfiction and really want to write fiction to be published.   I'm 
glad you've joined us.  I like your perspective having been a publisher.
