Thanks for sharing this. Now that you mention it, I am probably going to need a similar note in my upcoming novel, Second Chance. So glad I found this. And so glad you posted it.
Thanks for the question, Gabi. Actually, the cover DOES include "A Novel." But, as best as I can tell, the community of historical fiction writers, such as it is, considers the addition of a disclaimer and author's note to constitute best practice. Now that I've done the deed, I find I don't mind playing along. Among other things, it makes me feel like I'm paying a debt of gratitude and respect to the dead people I've turned into characters in my book.

So glad you have this "distraction" in these times Dave! I'm proud of you and your work.
We all need our distractions these days, Dan. Thanks!
This is a perfect way to acknowledge the facts within your fiction, or the fiction within your facts. Well done!
Couldn’t have done it without you, Colin. Thanks!
Couldn't you just have "A Novel" added to the cover?
