I like the Historical Novel Review Society

I LIKE the Historical Novel Society! Hello Stage 32 people... I hope you dont mind my first post here, I have only been a member of Stage32 for a couple of weeks but I could not restrain myself after this mornings arrival in my computer inbox... so if I seem to be self promoting too much I hope I may be forgiven...I am on a bit of a "high" as you will see below... I posted this on my LinkedIn connections earlier. For Stage 32, however, I should say I have now started on trying to make a script from my novel, so I will probably need a lot of help before I have finished, so this is also a genuine plea for advice from seasoned professionals as far as films are concerned. I hope you will see that a script arising from this novel should, at least, be seen as "High Concept", so how should I proceed from here... I LIKE the Historical Novel Society! I just opened the May reviews of the Historical Novel Society today and discovered that they have now reviewed my debut novel “Captain Cobbler: the Lincolnshire Uprising 1536” and, WOW, they have done a good job (lol)! For the review see http://historicalnovelsociety.org/reviews/captain-cobbler-the-lincolnshi... It seems rather a long time since I published it and launched it on the 477th anniversary of the Uprising, 1st October 2013 – and, so, I was beginning to think all my hard work and writing effort might just disappear under the churning appearance of thousands of self-published books each year. And then this lovely review slips from the ether into my computer – what a day. Certainly it will become a May Day to recall with a happy smile. It was quite moving to see such a warmly worded commentary from such an illustrious and independent source – he sighs contentedly! Do feel free to go and have a look for yourself and do please pass it on to anyone you know who may like historical novels… Id like to get the word out there! The novel presents a story which may change your views of one of the best known historical figures, the very much larger-than-life figure of King Henry Vlll. Certainly the research I did to enable me to tell the story of Nicholas Melton made me view Henrys reputation in a much different light. If you want to see more about the novel, take a look at my website – http://www.captaincobbler.com or if you simply want to go straight to buy the novel go to Amazon here http://www.amazon.co.uk/Captain-Cobbler-Lincolnshire-Uprising-1536/dp/14... Remember the e-book is only about £2, less than the price of a decent cup of coffee. Oh – I DO like the Historical Novel Society – ROCK ON!
