It also helps that I live in an area that appears to have a lot of active book clubs. It helps that my local library owns two book club “sets”-one set of The Hanged Man’s Noose, generously donated by a group in memory of their late founder, and the other, Skeletons in the Attic, donated by me because I love libraries and book clubs in equal measure. A couple of times these visits have led to paid speaking engagements. The hope, of course, is that they’ll want to read my other books, and I’m always grateful for reviews on Amazon and Goodreads.
I don’t charge a fee (although I do love homemade cookies) because it’s nice to know that the group has selected and read my book. The idea is that if a club selects my book, on the day of their monthly meeting, I show up and answer questions. As an author, however, one of my favorite things to do is meet readers-especially readers who like my books! Since the publication of my debut novel The Hanged Man’s Noose, I’ve had the good fortune to be a guest author at a few local book clubs.
Guest Post I don’t know about you, but I love libraries and book clubs! I belong to a book club and use our public library especially now that I can check out eBooks! Libraries & Book Clubs: A Winning Combination Judy Penz Shelukĭo you belong to a book club? I have to admit that, despite being an avid reader (I average a book a week), I’ve never belonged to one. Except for one thing: Anneliese’s past winds its way into Callie’s present, and not in a manner anyone-least of all Callie-could have predicted. It sounds like a perfect first assignment. It’s not long before Callie and her new business partner, best friend Chantelle Marchand, get their first client: a woman who wants to find out everything she can about her grandmother, Anneliese Prei, and how she came to a “bad end” in 1956. She solves the mystery, but what next? Unemployment? Another nine-to-five job in Toronto?Ĭallie decides to set down roots in Marketville, take the skills and knowledge she acquired over the past year, and start her own business: Past & Present Investigations. It’s been thirteen months since Calamity (Callie) Barnstable inherited a house in Marketville under the condition that she search for the person who murdered her mother thirty years earlier. Sometimes the past reaches out to the present… Superior Shores Press (September 21, 2018)
