Hi.

Considering how deliberately historically inaccurate my settings are, do I count as a historical fictioner, SeekJustice? 😛

My historical readings tend to be about ancient China and Korea. It’s kind of difficult for me to decide what my favourite periods are. Perhaps the Qin, Han and Tang dynasties in China and the Joseon and the Three Kingdoms eras of Korea. Some of my favourite historical figures are Bao Zheng, Gou Jian, Fan Li, Xi Shi, Sejong, Yi Sun-shin, Jang Yeongsil and Seondeok. I also like reading about the enlightened despots (e.g. Frederick the Great, Catherine the Great, Maria Theresa).

I am not sure if they all can be considered as historical authors but I like Dickens, Austen, van Gulik and Doyle.

My current WIP is simultaneously a political satire and a romance novel parody and it is set in a very, very alternate version of ancient Joseon. 😛
