I’m exploring the world of a new book I’m diving into. It’s the same world I’ve explored several times already as I head back to the Appalachian Mountains in Kentucky to bring some new characters to life. I like going to the mountains for stories. The new one that I’m dreaming up right now will be my fifth book with …
Books are something social – a writer speaking to a reader – so I think making the reading of a book the center of a social event, the meeting of a book club, is a brilliant idea. ~Yann Martel Are you in a book club? Have ever been in a book club? I have to admit that I’ve never been a …
I had the pleasure of speaking to a book club last week about my book These Healing Hills. Such fun. And in an odd coincidence, at practically the same time I was talking to the Branches Book Club at the Middletown United Methodist Church, the book chat group at the Indian River City United Methodist Church in Florida was talking …

Sharon, in the middle, and her daughter, Kristi, have a great store in the London, KY area. I’m there on the right holding my book. ~~Sharon enjoys keeping handcrafted items from local artists for sale in her store. She has …
Since January seems to be my month for book club talks, I decided maybe I should find out more about book clubs. So I googled book clubs and came up with more than 7,850,000 hits. Wow! Then I read a December 2008 article in the NY Times about book club troubles and it said there were perhaps four or five …
I just talked to a bookclub in New York and one of the questions they asked was “Do you like to read?” That was an easy question. I not only like to read, I feel deprived when life keeps me too busy to read as much as I want. I’m one of those people whose eyes seek out words, on …
