Prehistory

[close] We'll discuss books which are set anywhere from the Stone Age to the rise of the great empires. I hope to keep that last part broader than Egypt, Macadonia, Rome and Persia. While all of those empires are fascinating, there are many more out there which I consider to be underserved.

[close] Tired of being looked at funny when you mention Cryptoclidus or Propaleotherium? Know a ton about the creatures of the Triassic and Cretaceous, all in between, after, and even before? Well then this is the group for you, we'll understand all about your prehistoric interests.

[close] Author Sandra Saidak will be availble to answer questions from readers, July 20 through July 25, in celelbration of her recent release of The Seal Queen, a historical fantasy and paranormal romance.

[close] The focus of this group is historical fiction set in Ancient and Medieval eras(with some post Medieval), in any geographical location. Preference is given to themes of: engaging politics, sprawling battles, drugs(errr .. mead) and debauchery. If authors like Robyn Young, Bernard Cornwell, Steven Pressfield resonate with you, this group is designed for you. If you are bursting in your seams to discuss their books, please do come in. AUTHORS welcome as READERS ONLY. Limited opportunity for self promotion exists in A&M! No romantic melodrama books please. Want to gush about this great Victorian-era romance novel you've discovered and had been smitten with? Not the right group for you. We encourage freedom of opinion on books and authors in this group. As long as the opinion is respectful and harmless and breaks no Group rules. Don't feel you can't be honest about a book or author. No matter how popular the book or author is. Our Group Motto, courtesy of George S. Patton, is: If everybody is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking.
