As a teaching tool, I would like to publish a series of historical fiction books on the post-Roman period focusing on Britain. The "Arthurian" age has attracted too much fantasy from people wanting to tell a good story and not bothering with the cultural and physical elements of everyday life then and I'd like to rectify the problem.
Maybe you should try with the ennemy, I mean with videogame creators, which are always found of this popular period. That's why you should come out with a Pict hero or heroin, tattooed from feet to head: a great graphic hero. Use their storytelling with your knowledge.
That's something I hadn't considered, but I'm afraid without more traction with the academic community I might not have much leverage to make the game in any way historically accurate. And if I can't, I've just added to the problem.
It's probably hard to beat Bernard Cornwell's Warlord trilogy even twenty years after he moved on to the days of Alfred the Great. But his publishers - St. Martin's Press in New York, as far as I can tell - might lend you an ear?
