Preparing the Heroic Tales Class

-->

I am having way too much fun creating my Heroic Tales classes for delivery at Small Town Coffee Thursdays 7-8 PM (Kapa’a Fairgrounds). The first meeting is February 21^st. I get to talk about all my favorite books!

I just finished prepping the Utopias class, our 3^rd meeting. We will take an hour looking at Utopias from the 12^th to the 20^th century, starting with the astonishing legend of Prester John.

The Magic Sword class will start with tales of Tyrfing, the Viking sword that always killed someone once it had been unsheathed.

And the Woman’s Journey – ! Well, I don’t want to give it all away. There will be a hatful of great ideas at every class, for students to develop into a story or an essay. I will co-edit student writing with the student, to develop it to its highest potential.   

We will sail past so many great books in an hour! Blue House bookstore will order any book that you hear mentioned in the class, at a 20% discount to the student. Each class will also have a keynote work that is available for sale at the class with the same discount. We will spend a week each on
