Congratulations Nan! I'll make your book my top priority when it arrives in the office, and will let everyone know when it's in the collection.

You have been so supportive and enthusiastic.. I wanted to share the news. My novel, "An Involuntary King: A Tale of Anglo Saxon England", is now available on Amazon.com! I am expecting a box of books this week and I already have e an envelope ready to put a copy in to send to Bookshare for turning into a text file and making available through the site. In the meantime, if anyone on this list wants a free PDF of the book, just let me know at hathorn@xxxxxxxxxxx ., I am so excited.. I even took the book out to dinner. It didn't eat much. I have mostly great reviews.. you can see them on Amazon. I did get one historical nitpicker.. my husband refers to this as "counting the rivets on the hull of the Titanic". I say right up front in the novel that the book is based on stories and characters I developed as a teen and that I have made an attempt to make the setting authentic without losing the original.. plus I suspect what the fellow said is just plain wrong. No matter.. it's well told, if I say so myself! I am just so darn happy I could burst. Nan Hawthorne www.medieval-novels.com
