I'm Visiting the Barnes and Noble Mystery Book Club This Week!

All this week, I am a Featured Author guest at the Barnes and Noble Booksellers' on-line Mystery Book Club. You can follow the thread about my visit, read all about me and my latest release, A Basket of Trouble, and ask me any question you'd like. Here's the LINK.

The Barnes and Noble Booksellers' Mystery Book Club is a great group for mystery readers, whether or not you buy your books from Barnes and Noble or use a Nook to read them. Becke Davis, the moderator, works hard to line up interesting author guests every week to interact with the group members. If you aren't already a member and love reading mysteries, I hope you will join. It's free, so what have you got to lose?

Good Times with the Highlands Ranch Library Mystery Book CLub

Recently, I visited the Highlands Ranch Library near Denver, CO, to meet with their Mystery Book Club. The club had chosen my Deadly Currents mystery, the first in my RM Outdoor Adventures series, to be their discussion book for the month of August. We started off the meeting with a Q&A session where members asked me how I got into mystery writing, how I wrote my books, about the whitewater rafting research I did for Deadly Currents, and what the life of an author was like. Then we got into the Discussion Questions that I provide on my website for the book, as I do for all of my books. We wrapped up with some socializing and book signing, then we posed for the group photos shown below. I had a great time with the group and hope to see at least some of them again at the Left Coast Crime conference in Colorado Springs next spring.

Would you like me to visit with your book club, either in person or via Skype or speakerphone? Contact me at my website and let's make it happen!

Visiting the Barnes & Noble Mystery Book Club

Today I am a guest author on the Barnes & Noble Mystery Book Club. What is this, you might ask. It's an on-line discussion group at the Barnes & Noble Booksellers website, one of many Genre Book Clubs and Idea Boards that are available to readers at the website.

For those of you who are interested in mysteries (and who among my blog readers isn't?), I suggest you join this free discussion group and participate. The moderator, Becke Davis, is very active is encouraging mystery authors to visit and in posting worthwhile discussion topics.

My guest article today is about "Stretching the Boundaries of a Cozy Mystery," but I'm ready to discuss any topic or answer any question that book club members throw at me. So have at it!
