Ancient

[close] Discussion about family and relatives of royalty and those going back to ancient times, as well as listing, sharing and/or posting statistical and other data, various information and genealogical charts. The purpose is to obtain better and clearer information about certain people, families and/or relatives, and even dynasties. I had once written a book, 'The Inner-Circle In The Outer World', which detailed how many of the powerful families down through history were related to each other and kept secrets from the public (non-royals or commoners). And also another one that detailed how one ancient dynastic family was behind the creation of many different religions, 'The Biblical Dynasty'. Both books were destroyed and I am now trying to reconstruct them. http://thebiblicaldynastysite.webs.com

[close] I feel there is the need for a forum where we can discuss literature. Not just rate books and say how much we like them, but anything to do with literature, great authors, periods, social context, styles, influences, movements. If all the words tumbled from a famous tome, And could be carefully reassembled in the fullness of time, Who would be the best person to be sure, If the new work in hand was literature? (By Goodreads Author Amelia Stark) A united minority is stronger than a divided majority. (Quotation by Goodreads Author Adriano Bulla)

[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.
