medieval-novels.com Grand Reopening!

Today, January 1, 2011!!
No, not under new management... it is the same old folks here.  But we decided this site and you deserved a searchable database, as well as a way to input books and movies yourself.  So we relaunched on January 1, 2011, a much more useful tool, whether for buying books or just finding out about all the novels, movies, and television shows that take place in a slightly expanded period of 400 to 1600 AD.

As you know, this is an Amazon Associates site, which means all the links, or most of them, are to books on Amazon.com.  For this we receive a single digit percentage referral fee.  We do not ourselves sell the books.  If you have trouble with a purchase, contact Amazon.

We want to add Amazon.co.uk products too, but for now you can find a book here then use the UK search tool on the Catalog Home.

We are also adding ebooks as a Smashwords.com  affiliate.  These are not purchased from Amazon.com, so contact Smashwords with purchase issues.

We welcome... oh gosh, lots of things!  Add books,  movies and television shows... see instructions at the tab above.  We also welcome corrections and suggestions.  Just email us at hawthorne@nanhawthorne.com .

Why we set this up - not for the money, I can tell you.  We don't make what we spend.  I wanted an exhaustive list of medieval and Renaissance novels so I could check which were available in a format I could access.  (I cannot read print.)  It turned out that a small fraction were available through the NLS for the Blind, but thanks to the Kindle 3 reading machine with text to speech, there are lots m ore available to me now.  Once I got started, with help from a number of people I just couldn't stop.. and now medieval-novels.com in its easier to use format is fast on its way to becoming a universally useful resource!

Verily, a feast for the mind and heart, and may you have joy of it!
