As my old and now late friend and novelist Les Williamson used to say. So here's J. David Simons' notes on how to do or not do research for historical novels: http://vulpeslibris.wordpress.com/
That's a very nice piece. I've bookmarked that site. I'd endorse everything he says about historical novels, except the bit about setting them at least 80 years ago... 'An Exquisite Sense of What is Beautiful' is a pretty cool title, too.
I've been running Five Leaves Publications since 1996 and have jointly organised Lowdham Book Festival for the last twelve years. I used to work in radical bookselling and as Nottinghamshire's Literature Development Officer.
