Back too far, Yikes!!!
I am shaking my head. Somebody must of slept through World History class. How can Roman times be back too far? A whole bunch of really cool stuff happened before they took over for a while.
Where does that leave us? I have written a 2 vol. Prehistoric probability ready or not, coming of age adventure story. Everything in the three cultures depicted was documented by some anthropologist, paleontologist or museum curator. So not even speculation anymore. The characters are fiction but everything else in their world is time appropriate. There does not appear to be a sub-genre slot anywhere Yet these stories have been popular since Victorian times.
If you have a minute I would like to hear your opinion. If not, thanks for letting me take part.
I happen to be familiar with a HF author whose agent subbed her Egypt-set book here in the US and received a thanks-no-thanks, and what I considered odd feedback related to the time period and storyline. (Biblical period without being Biblical was a no-go. ) Even though mine's romance, I've gotten feedback that Pompeii is "too far back in time."
