I just got my copy of the anthology "Roman Whodunnits", with some new authors in there. Over in RAT, Simon Scarrow and J M Roberts both said they were surprised at finding new names, but Steven Saylor's intro is a good explanation for the explosion in Roman fiction.<br>
I have a weblist of Roman mystery writers, but I don't know of any for Roman fiction per se. Since I"m always on the lookout, and since some Brit authors get published there but don't seem to make it over here, I was wondering who your favorite authors were, and if they are still in print.<br>
<br>
I have all the books of:<br>
Lindsey Davis<br>
Steven Saylor<br>
J Maddox Roberts<br>
Simon Scarrow<br>
Caroline Lawrence<br>
<br>
as well as<br>
Robert Graves<br>
Wallace Breem<br>
Mary Ray<br>
David Wishart<br>
Bryher<br>
Henry Winterfeld<br>
<br>
and a few more. Can't finish one of those Claudia mysteries, though, try as I may.<br>
