I’ve already done chats with a couple of book clubs about THE MASTER OF VERONA, and since there’s a major publicity push to clubs in December (thank you, AuthorBuzz!), St. Martin’s recently contacted me and asked me to devise some questions for their book-club section.
Normally publishers wait until a novel is in paperback to pitch it to book clubs. Certainly I was skeptical – from my wife’s experience with clubs they almost never read hardcovers. Each club I’ve spoken to so far has had a friend or family member in it. But apparently there was interest, and in the "well, it can’t hurt" department, I was more than happy to come up with a few questions. Anything to help.
The link to the BKMT Reading Guide just went up last week, and there’s already a review for the novel! Astonishing, and gratifying. And it just goes to show – what do I know?
And with the WGA strike going strong, there’s never been a better time to pick up a book.
Cheers!
