One of my WIPs is in the 1930s at the height of the Holodomor in Soviet-occupied Ukraine. It's deeply political, and to borrow a quote from a very wise movie character: "And that's all I have to say...about that."
Do future eras not count as eras? My story takes place in the early 22nd century.
My novel that's coming out in May is 20th century (1920s), and my WIP is 1950s. Still, I have a soft spot in my heart for the medieval and Tudor eras.
So glad I saw this post. Your book looks like something I'd really enjoy reading! Going to check it out. And looks like you had some great reviews -- congratulations!

Mine begins in 1888 -- the Gilded Age and goes from a small midwestern town to New York City. Big contrast.
AngeliZ2K - Thank you very much for your comments and advice, my book is a novella, and is completed. I don't just have my main character competing in the Munich Games, three other UK females do, as well as women from France USA and Germany, so I hoped, this would be acceptable to say in my book, providing the historical facts are unchanged, although chapters 3-7 are set in Munich, it's only in chapter 5, that the characters compete. Also, because other historical fiction writers have made changes to their books; but left the main facts alone, I thought what I was doing would be fine. One example, being The Other Boleyn Girl? Sorry, I digress. The reason I said the Munich Olympics were a new and exciting event, I actually meant for the beginning of that decade, because for the first time new satellite technology enabled millions of people could watch the Games from around the world, and that more nations competed than ever before, and because the Germans wanted their Games to be totally different from the 1936 Games, which Hitler used for his own personal gain, I read this in the brilliant One Day In September, by Simon Reeve, and watched the film by the same name, narrated by Hollywood actor Michael Douglas, sorry for not clarifying on that one.
