Today is the Day! The Fiddler’s Gun by A.S. Peterson
Happy Ground Hog Day Everyone!
My intention was to kick off our reading of ’The Fiddler’s Gun’ on the first Day of February, but here we are on Ground Hog Day instead; due to a small but time-consuming glitch between myself and the post that I so eloquently typed for you. I lost it somehow between Preview and Publishing. Lesson learned. Onward.
I am so excited to start this off today. If any of you are like me, you have probably already read the book as soon as you received it. If not, I want to start by saying you are in for a treat. Since this is also the first Book Club read for this site, I will be feeling my way along to what will work the best for our interaction on a Chapter to Chapter basis, as well as an overall review at the end. Mr. Peterson has sent us his well wishes and will join in a response to our discussions at the end of our read. Don’t be afraid to be honest. He is that type of person. Though we all love the child that we have nurtured, this helps a writer grow in his art. I feel that you will not disappointed.
I am emailing you the discussion packet that Mr. Peterson has kindly provided as well as the digital download of The Fiddler’s Gun Letters’, available only to Book Club members. It is a very limited edition in print, so this is a bonus gift. There will also be some signed bookmarks in the mail with the name of the Book Club on them coming along soon. I will be posting the discussion Guide questions as well as providing a few Chapter to Chapter discussion opportunities as we go along. Jump in any time as some are able to read faster than others. I know that we all have different time constraints, but I will keep it moving along. At the end, I will also send out an evaluation email as I want to be fun yet efficient as possible. Enjoy!
So there mateys, lets fire off ’ The Fiddlers Gun.’

Yay. I was wondering about this yesterday. Glad we’re starting today. Since it IS Groundhog Day, I’m wondering if we will start, and start, and start. . . nevermind. =) Just glad to be setting off on this adventure.
Toni,
Looking forward to digging into the book , but I will not begin it until after the Super Bowl — I’m reading another book, given to me by my son, which covers the life of Vince Lombardi. My super goal is to have it done by the Super Bowl. Then I’ll jump into FG. So, I’ll have thoughts and comments to add on it by the end of the month — Lord willin’!
