Imagine being a ghost in the room as readers finally sit down to discuss your book. How fascinating to see what other humans make of your beloved work! Consider just how much control writers now release to the world. The literary child has left the home, and your readers get to think whatever they want.
My book Moonwaiting just came out today, on this mystical Wolf Moon!
Here is the link With this in mind, with a wink and a grin, I thought I might initiate the conversation:
10 Discussion Questions for Moonwaiting by Isa Glade Day:
- Which character do you like most?
- What do the ancient tribes (Smertae, Urquart, Tory, and Calenda) value, and how do they differ in personality?
- How are sexual boundaries addressed, or valued in this primitive life?
- Is magic real?
- Discuss betrayal, vengeance, and forgiveness as they surface in the character’s choices.
- How does parenting impact the twins?
- Which male characters are presented in a positive light?
- What is the response to mental instability?
- Discuss the moral ambiguity of Greig, Dolina, Alban, and Iselde.
- How does the Scottish landscape contribute to the plot and culture?
Who is this author?
When I taught high school for 30 years, my students often finished a book without any regard to the author, often with no ability to name the writer. This was considered a crime in my classroom. Ask yourself, what do you know about Isa Glade Day as a person, and to what can you attribute this awareness in her book?
Blessings upon you all, and enjoy this full Wolf Moon!
Sincerely, Isa
