About Us

Nan Hawthorne is a  historical novelist and ravenous reader of the genre.  She writes a fictional blog, Tales from Shield-wall Books,  and her first novel, An Involuntary King. is due to be released in September 2008 

Most of the books on this site are linked through our Amazon Associates bookstore, paying the bills and rewarding our effort a little.  Others, not available through Amazon or at least not through their associates commission program, are listed here for the love of novels about the Middle Ages.

Author and bookstore owner, Nan Hawthorne

The way this bookstore works is that when you click through to a title from our site and order the book from Amazon , they credit us with a small amount for referring you.  Your business will be with them only, and all concerns or questions about your order should be directed to Amazon.com.  In some cases we may refer you to other booksellers and individual publishers and authors.  Please direct questions about those orders to the appropriate person/company.

Suggest a book!

Here is what we need to know:

  1. Make sure the story takes place roughly between 500 and 1600 AD/CE.  We do not list books outside that time period, which is generous enough.  It's called medieval-novels.com.
  2. Look around the site to see how it is organized and choose the best placement for your story.
  3. Country or region where the story takes place.
  4. If England, the reign during which the story takes place.  E.g., Henry II, Anglo Saxon England, 14th century (if during more than one reign), or as close an approximation as possible.
  5. Full title
  6. ISBN, if possible.
  7. Author name(s)
  8. A shot description of the story, no more than 50 words.
  9. Is the book on Amazon?  If not, the name and URL of where the book can be purchase.
  10. If the book is not released yet, the date of its release.. and a jpg or gif image of the book cover.*
  11. Your initials
  12. Your email address to be used only if we need to ask a question.  We do not collect email addresses. 

* Do not send the image unless your book is coming out in the near future.  We no longer use cover images on the general listings.

NOTE:  We do not have an email newsletter any more.  To see regular updates go to That's All She Read.  You can subscribe to it there as well.

We ask you for your email in case we have any questions.  Unless you elect to receive the newsletter, we will not put you on a mailing list or give or sell your information.

Thanks!

FTC Disclosure

As of December 1, 2009, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission will require bloggers to disclose when the books they review are suppllied to the reviewer by the author or publisher without charge.  medieval-novels.com is not itself a blog, but we do have an associated blog, namely That's All She Read.  In the interest of full disclosure, please note that all links on this site and on that blog that lead to books and other products on the Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk websites will result in our receiving a small referral fee, assuming you buy the book as a result of following that link.  On occasion we may write reviews of books and other products supplied by authors or publishers.  In this case, we will indicate as such in the review.  If you have any questions about any of this, let us know.

How you can help us

Just visiting and becoming enthusiastic about the site is a great start!  But there are a few  other things.

  • Just sending us book suggestions using the form above is wonderful!  We are at over 1,000 books now.  But as the idea is to have every novel from the period available  there will never be enough.
  • Also if you can occasionally look for books you've read that we don't have good descriptions for or images of the covers and can send those to us too.. that would be magnificent.
  • Theoretically we make a little money with each sale of a book on Amazon Associates.   The reality is that we don't make a penny from any sale where the total before shipping is under 40 cents.  And that penny was literal.  We certainly commend your economy for choosing one of those books with teeny tiny prices.. and of course you are welcome to go find the books at the library.  The money we make probably will never quite cover our expenses.  So if you can see your way through to spend more than 50 cents on each used book you buy, we'd be obliged and each of us a halfpenny the richer.
