Anne Boleyn / Author Discussion on Goodreads

I am the author of "Threads: The Reincarnation of Anne Boleyn," and will have Susan Bordo as my special guest for a Q & A session discussing the Tudors, and their historians. Susan is writing, "The Creation of Anne Boleyn," which discusses and examines the liberties biographers, novelists and movie makers have taken with the Tudors, throughout the centuries. Was Anne Boleyn born in 1501 or 1507? Did she have six fingers? Was she a witch? Did Henry VIII have syphilis, diabetes or Borderline Personality Disorder?

Most historians and biographers fake it more than they admit, when they write about the Tudors. Most novelists have to fill in the blanks and make good guesses from conflicting information. But what was true? How far can writers and movie makers drift from that truth? Come join in the discussion and add your thoughts!

For a link to the discussion, visit http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/37092 and join the group. Or friend me on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/nell.gavin, or "like" The Creation of Anne Boleyn page at https://www.facebook.com/thecreationofanneboleyn. When we have a URL, we will post it in our status.

It begins Friday September 30, and continues through Sunday October 2. Susan and I will visit frequently to address your questions and comments.
