Book Club Ladies,
Do you have a book club in Central Texas? If your book club selects my memoir, The Package Deal: My (not-so) Glamorous Transition from Single Gal to Instant Mom as your next book club pick, I’m more than happy to attend your meeting, mix and mingle, and answer any questions you have about the book.
If you live elsewhere in the country, I’m available for over-the-phone chats. To schedule a face-to-face visit or an author call, email me at izzyrose@stepmothersmilk.com with the following info:
• Number of members in your book club
• Where you’re located
• Contact email and/or phone number
• When you plan to read/meet to discuss TPD
You can also set up a meeting or call through Readers Circle, a super cool (and legit) organization that connects book clubs and authors throughout the country.
I met recently with a book club in Austin and it was loads of fun. They pumped me full of wine, passed around an obscenely large bowl of queso and grilled me with questions. (Wine and cheese are not requirements BTW, although I’m easily won over with either or both.) Everyone was good-humored and no one tried to make me cry.
What’s more, after we drained the first glass of wine, the conversation became less about me and more about them. They started sharing their stories, opening up and swapping advice, which is really the whole point of the book. I was able to sit back, relax and listen to a wise group of gals discuss their careers, their different parenting styles, the secret to making good girlfriends, and how far they were willing to go for love.
Sound fun? I’m currently scheduling vis-a-vis meetings and author chats in November and December . Let me know if you’d like me to add your group to the list!
