Disclosure

Authors and publishers regularly send me free copies of books for review. To the best of my ability, I use the same standards to review these as I do to review books I have purchased or checked out from the library. I also participate in online book discussion forums and am "Facebook friends" and/or "LibraryThing friends" with a number of authors of historical novels. Again, to the best of my ability, I use the same standards in reviewing books by these authors as I do with any other books. If I feel a close friendship with another author would make it difficult for me to read and review that author's work objectively, I will not accept it for review.

This website is affiliated with online bookstores which pay me a small commission for items sold after a website visitor clicks on one of the links to their sites. I also accept advertisements through Google AdSense and selected other advertisers for which I receive monetary compensation. These sources of income cover the out-of-pocket costs of keeping the website online and help to compensate me for the time I spend keeping it up to date.
