It’s no secret that the stand-up comedy of British comic Eddie Izzard has provided inspiration for many Historical Tweets.

Historical Tweets contributor Sean Tucker submitted our Noah & the Ark tweet (a conversation with @2Ducks) to Eddie’s web site, and it was chosen as the #2 most popular fan art from September 2009.

We hear that Eddie chooses these awards himself.  If that’s the case… Wow.  We’re honored.

Hear ye, hear ye…

For over a year, we’ve said that books have been ruining history, but today we’re happy to announce that we’re the exception to that rule.

We just signed a deal with Villard (part of the Random House Publishing Group), the publisher behind every great book in history.

Come April 2010, you’ll be able to find Historical Tweets at your local bookseller… so, you should probably start the line now.  We’re not kidding.  It’s going to be big.  Really big.  Bigger than Harry Potter and Twilight combined.

Thank you for your support, your pos-mens, and your retweeting.  You’ve made us very happy historians.

Finally, a big historical salute to our agent Kate McKean at Howard Morhaim for representing us.  You’re a champ.
