I’m Russell James, author of some two dozen books, mainly fiction although half a dozen are non-fiction. Most relevant to this page, of course, was my recent
A Popular Encyclopaedia of Victorian Women Writers
Though I have another great piece of Victorian non-fiction coming in late April.
Details on my website, the Russell James page
My earlier titles were mainly crime fiction and I was chair of the Crime Writers Association back in 2000 and 2001. My Victorian fiction includes:
I also wrote
THE POCKET GUIDE TO VICTORIAN WRITERS AND POETS
and
THE POCKET GUIDE TO VICTORIAN ARTISTS AND THEIR MODELS.
Do please visit my author site too! (Just click.)
Other Historical Fiction titles include:
THE NEWLY DISCOVERED DIARIES OF DOCTOR KRISTAL
and the mock autobiography of the legendary pre-war Music Hall and variety star, Maggie King: STORIES I CAN’T TELL.
They’re all on my author site too (just click) or from Amazon direct.
Then there are all my crime titles and yes, given that most of my crime fiction was written in the 20th century, you could say that the crime fiction stories are historical too!
