As the discussion leader, I have looked forward to our coming discussion on Tuesday, February 3. For your convenience I have set up a blog for the group at http://histnov.blogspot.com where you will find information on upcoming meetings and a list of the times for many time zones. In tandem with the Let's Read Historical Novels chat discussion on AccessibleWorld.org, we have started a Freelist email discussion book on general fiction. To join, just send an email to aw-booktalk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "Subscribe" in the subject field. The email discussion is open to anyone interested in Accessible World's book discussion groups. It will be facilitated by Nan Hawthorne. Our book for February 3 is my own first novel, An Involuntary King: A Tale of Anglo Saxon England. It's along book, so I hope you have had a chance to start reading it! I promise if you have not you will still enjoy the conversation and have that many more insights when you do get to reading. I welcome suggestions of what you would like to discuss about the book. I plan to ask for thoughts on individual characters, the plot, and the storytelling. I also would like to hear any ideas you have for where to take this story on the web site I have set up for continuing tales of these and other characters.
