I have a confession to make: the collection and organization of data fascinates me. Pretty charts and pivot tables are as captivating to me as shiny baubles are to a magpie.

Data tells a story if you know how to slice and dice it. But what does this have to do with historical fiction?  If you enjoy the genre, author Mary Tod would like to hear from you. For the past 3 years, Mary has conducted surveys to gain more insight into what readers enjoy about the genre. As a historical fiction writer, I look forward to the results (and the pretty charts!), and learning more about the trends in historical fiction.

Whether you are a reader or a writer, I encourage you to take five minutes and answer the survey. Let your voice be heard.
