"Funny,
fascinating, witty....a likable and multifaceted
list of sleuths at Crime Thru Time @ yahoogroups.com."
Historical mystery is
one of the fastest growing subgenres.
On
our discussion list we talk about history, culture, authors
and mysteries. We often share information found on the net
about the historical periods written in the novels. We are
an ever growing list made up of both authors and readers.
We welcome historical readers and writers of all kinds. Authors
may promote their web sites and work on the list. List members
with historical mystery newsletters or web sites may also
promote their interest on the list. We also have a monthly
voluntary group
read for members to join in on.

Discussion List Rules
Promotions and Announcements on CTT
CTT is a discussion list. Although readers
want to hear about new sites, new reviews and new HM information,
they don't want them taking over the discussion list, so here
are a few rules:
These
types of post need to be related to Historical Mysteries.
[Off-Topic promoting will get one's posts moderated]
They
also need to actually benefit CTT readers [ i.e.
new HM information, contests, chapter previews, author web
page updates, signing dates, conventions, review announcements,
publisher announcements, special book sales online (Ex:
UK books at US store), etc.....]. Please remember that this
is a group for fans of historical mysteries, not group focusing
on subjects of interest to HM authors rather than readers.
These
posts need to be few and far between -- certainly no more
than once a week and even that often may be inappropriate,
depending upon content [Constant promotion posting will
get one's posts moderated]
The
word "PROMO:" or "ANNOUNCEMENT:" should
be in the subject heading of posts that are otherwise appropriate,
but purely promotional. -- EXAMPLE -- PROMO: Contest
--- OR -- Announcement: Sisters in Crime meeting....
Note: adding that to the header does NOT in itself
make the promotion acceptable. See the above guidelines
on content. Reminders will be sent out to those who forget,
and forgetting too often will get one's posts moderated.
Please,
please DO NOT send promos or advertising about out services,
site, etc directly to CTT authors. They are here to chat,
just like the rest of us.
