What we’re about
People who enjoy history but especially enjoy it told as fiction in order that they gain human perspective. Summed up best by this quote: “History tells us what people do; historical fiction helps us imagine how they felt.” Guy Vanderhaeghe
Meetings will be held virtually on either the 2nd or 3rd Monday from 7:00pm-8:00pm (eastern time zone) on Zoom. The schedule and supporting materials will be on the website.
Deborah Mayer and Lori Vinesett, Co-Coordinators

Non-Networking Policy: We are a friendship-based group. We do not allow networking of any type (e.g., passing around business cards, advertising, solicitation, gathering email address/sending emails for the purpose of sales/promotion/recruitment, posting ads for your own group/to create sales for any product you sell). If you do try any of the above it will be cause for immediate removal from the group. Our members do not wish to be used in this way so please do not join us if this is your idea of friendship. There are plenty of other great meetup groups set up specifically for this purpose, please join them instead.
