[LM_NET] Target (Elementary): Historical Fiction or Realistic Fiction

[Janet McCoy <mccoymedia@YAHOO.COM>]

When does contemporary fiction or realistic fiction become historical fiction?  Is 
any story that includes a true historical event, no matter how long ago that event 
occurred, considered historical fiction?  My principal recently asked me this 
question and I wasn't quite sure of the answer.  Thanks for your input.
