Authors Loretta Chase and Isabella Bradford (one does romantic fiction with a splattering of history while the other does historical fiction with a splattering of romance - bodices be warned!) have not only a very interesting, funny and well written history blog going but have also had the unimpeachably good manners to set out a lorry load of links on it to other sites worth a visit!

I've set them up as a recommended site yonder to the left ...

Will have to check this out. I have found some websites I like (not necessarily history ones) by following links from one site to another.  The trouble is that I can find the internet addictive and I do need to rein myself in and get on with work in the real world and not spend too much time in cyber-space.
