GP Invites You All To ….
January 5th, 2007 at 05:27pm GatorPerson
There’s a forum elsewhere that is discussing, Queen of Swords, by Sara Donati, AKA Rosina Lippi, over the next number of weeks. She asked me to be the moderator (Don’t even ask whether I’m qualified!). Rosina writes both contemporary romances and historical adventures with romance thrown in. Queen of Swords is the fifth novel of the Wilderness series. It takes place in New Orleans in 1814 and 1815 during the War of 1812 (I didn’t name the war!). It’s written so that you don’t need to read the previous 4 first.
Historical novels rarely are funny like Crusie’s romances are; so don’t expect contributors to have the CB craziness. Over there I have a different alias, unpronounceable, only 5 letters long since Blooger wouldn’t let me have it at J&B’s.
With J&B starting up their 2007 Online Writing Workshop, this might be a good opportunity (Hint! Hint!) to delve into a different genre from theirs for comparison. Some of my questions will have to do with Rosina’s purpose in doing things for the sake of structure, foreshadowing, character developing (arcs, I hope), and POV. Of course, many questions will be more mundane.
So why invite you all? On accounta you all are really literate in a writerish sorta way and could make some fine contributions. And, no, I won’t be deserting the CB Bar & Grill. You can take a peek without registering (you’ll be a GUEST), but must register in order to add comments. http://tiedtothetracks.com/forum/, then to Sara’s Stuff: The Wilderness Novels, then to Queen of Swords: discussion group.
Joining in after the study has already begun is not a problem since I designed it so that people could join in later and begin at the beginning or the middle or the end. (She blushingly pats herself on the back and makes a curtsy.)
Why such a web name? The forum started when Rosina’s contemporary novel, Tied To The Tracks first came out.
If you’re interested, check out Queen of Swords from the library; a lot interested, Amazon lists at $18.
