My First Book Club Appearance

Before I get to the surreal moment of going to a bookclub that read my book and answering questions, I’ve got to show you what a pumpkin killer looks like. Isn’t he the cutest squash murderer you’ve ever seen?
We scooped and carved 2 1/2 pumpkins this afternoon: an owl, a  Scooby Doo, and a “Tric.” We’ll finish that last one up tomorrow–the wording was too complicated–and make a full “Trick or Treat.”
Queen for an hour!
A few years ago a book club that met near my old house asked me to visit and talk about the publishing process. Three of the members returned tonight with many new readers, and we chatted about The Familiar Stranger. One of my favorite things was hearing the different perspectives from various belief systems and backgrounds. The group is not a “Christian” book club, and since The Familiar Stranger is not labeled as inspirational or Christian fiction on amazon or in the LOC info in the front, the Christian content caught a few of them unaware. It truly was eye-opening to hear a non-Christian perspective on a Christian book. (If you’re popping in, ladies, I’m so thankful you read my book … and liked it!)
Today’s post is Deborah Vogts’ Country at Heart. Enjoy!

    CKHB, my daughter is going to be so impressed that you commented on my blog! She loves THE PARENT TRAP 2 and has discussed with one of her best friends how they can pull off what your character did in the movie.

    Yes, everybody, we have a celebrity sighting here on Posting with Purpose … a child actress turned writer! 😀

    T. Anne, maybe sometime in real life too?

    Susan, thanks SO much for doing it!
