I am in the throws, the midst, the swim, the tumble, the turmoil, the grip, the gripe, the grim, grinching clutches of the Reading Group Guide Questions. They are proving a timorous beastie and I am trying to wrestle them to the ground. It is not a lack of answers that is tripping me up but the reverse. An answer arrives, unpacks and then gets shown the door. There are muddy footprints in the hall.
It is an odd feeling of formal presentation. Readers meet Author. Author meet Readers. Shall we waltz?

ReplyDeleteGosh, I never thought of that whole area of writing...yikes. Best of luck!
ReplyDeletethank you!
ReplyDeleteYou know, if I haven't told you this before, I CAN'T WAIT to read your book. Do you know details yet, like if it will come out in hardcover or paperback first, and where I'll be able to buy a copy?
ReplyDeleteAlso--I haven't gotten an email from you yet, but I'm so glad you'd like to give some advice to my friend Rob. In case I typed my address wrong before, it's hudsonsmom at hotmail dot com. Thanks!
Does this mean you are getting closer to publish? I can't wait to read it! Good luck coming up with discussion questions. :)
ReplyDeleteI never imagined it would be tough to come up with reading group guide questions! Good luck. I'm sure you'll hit on some great questions soon :)
ReplyDeletekathy, i will send an email tonight! the novel is coming out in feb published by touchstone simon and schuster. it is a trade paper back. i think i get galleys soon--but then the last (very very last) round of edits is sitting on my table and i have to send it off before it can come back magically turned into a book!
ReplyDeletemari, the tentative publishing date is february! so excited!
kals, they actually came up with the wonderful questions. i just have to answer the author questions but am finding it tricky!
