When it comes to a historical , what time period do you like? I am getting tired of regencies but I’m starting to think I am the only one since that’s what pub. houses are picking up. All the American westerns I find are self published. What are your thoughts?

I like 1900- 1950 a lot. Lots of changes during that period
I love the late Sharon Kay Penman medieval historical fiction. My favorite is The Sunne in Splendour. You mentioned historical fiction westerns. 2 favorite authors have written award winning westerns:
The Lonesome Dove series Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry
Doc and the sequel Epitaph by Mary Doria Russell.
Also if you like historical mysteries series I've read these and highly recommend:Murder by Misrule Francis Bacon series set in London during the reign of Elizabeth I by Anna Castle
A Famine of Horses Sir Robert Carey series also set during reign of Elizabeth I but mostly set on Northern England/Southern Scotland border by P.F. Chisholm.
A Few Right Thinking Men Rowland Sinclair series set in 1930's Australia by Sulari Gentill.
I like a variety, though I prefer before the twentieth century.
