Shortlist Revealed for HWA Debut Crown

I was on the jury for the HWA Debut Crown 2017 and the Historical Writers Association have just published the shortlist of incredible authors in the running for this year's prize.

Emma Darwin, Chair for the HWA Debut Crown Crown, said: "The shortlist for the HWA Debut Crown shows just how exciting the new voices are in historical fiction. From judicial murder in the Essex marshes, to Bohemia in 1930s Melbourne, here is a range of passion, historical imagination and sheer storytelling skill which bodes well not just for these hugely talented writers, but the future of the genre as a whole."
