Jeff Hepple, one of our author members, has graciously agreed to lead a book klub on his historical novel Gone for a Soldier! Woohoo!!!! Thanks, Jeff! This will be the third in our series, Reading with the Author (after Mike Hicks's In Her Name beginning Feb 1 and Al Past's Distant Cousin beginning March 9). From what I've read in the posts, we have a lot of lovers of historical fiction, this should be right up their alley! Jeff previously wrote: As a reminder, I’m still offering both my books, Gone For a Soldier and The Treasure of La Malinche (2 volumes) free to KindelBoards.com members for the balance of the year. Anyone interested can send me a private message and I’ll gladly provide the links to the books. Jeff's website is http://www.eliscopublishing.com/jeffry_s_hepple.aspHere's the Amazon link to Jeff's book, which will give you a little bit more about it.   |

Thank you, LDB. That's very kind of you to say so. Betsy, is this a duplicate thread?  |

Jeff I think it's duplicate, triplicate, or even quadruplicate.  Seems like every other thread in Book Corner mentions how great the book is. . .guess I better get to reading it! Ann |

Thank you, LDB. That's very kind of you to say so. Betsy, is this a duplicate thread? I've posted this twice, once in the Book Klubs and once in the main Book Corner to catch people who may not think they're interested enough in the Book Klubs to check out the subforum, or who just don't see the subforum. I expect it will drop out of sight in the main Book Corner, which is fine, but I wanted to put it there once! Betsy |

Cool! I haven't started reading these yet, but knowing there's a book klub coming up will help me schedule the many, many things to read. |

It looks like Amazon.com has a server issue this morning so that many of the book covers are not being served. Guess the IT department had too much New Year's cheer.  |

I have the book and was going to start it next. Now I think I'll wait until closer to April so that it's fresh. I've heard so many great things about it, I'm looking forward to reading it.

Tell me about!
Be prepared, though, long range plans are for several book clubs to be going on at once. People will have to choose!

I wanted to share this review that was written by FearNot of KindleBoards.com with you:  Gone For A Soldier, February 6, 2009
The action in the story will grab your attention; the personalities, good and bad, will keep your attention. One of my criteria for a good book is to make a fictional account become almost a reality - Jeff has succeeded. All in all, a book well worth reading.

I quite enjoyed Gone for Soldier but I suspect Jeff will be asking for editing comments for extra credit (Jeff--I'm totally kidding, that was fun!) |

I am really looking forward to this Book Klub. I've been holding off on reading it and will try to just read the assigned passages week to week. I didn't do too well on that score with Outlander. I became a little piggy and gobbled the thing down.
