It can get expensive to ship those packages, but I figure a group of 15 is probably buying at least 10 copies of my book, so I'm happy to send bookmarks, and a few books, mugs, etc. for door prizes to a group that is reading one of my novels. I also offer to do a speakerphone interview with those groups.Deborah Raneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04252126648118644451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6979453812706020935.post-52028700369302865402009-09-06T22:36:15.345-04:002009-09-06T22:36:15.345-04:00I just did a booksigning at a homeschool booksale ...I just did a booksigning at a homeschool booksale and a couple of the girls had just read SAVING SAILOR and had a reading club with TAKING TUSCANY, and are planning to invite me to a a Tuscany Night to eat Italian food and discuss the books. It sounds like a blast! I'll let you know how it goes. I think the idea of Doing a theme night on the book with the author is a great idea.Renee Rivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12216860431262675528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6979453812706020935.post-61272129698271722902009-09-06T16:04:42.110-04:002009-09-06T16:04:42.110-04:00I am a new author (my book Rocky Mountain oasis ju...I am a new author (my book Rocky Mountain oasis just released on July 31, 2009). I haven't had any experience speaking to a book club, yet. But I just wanted to chime in and say that I, too, would like to see a blog about how to go about finding book clubs and how to approach them. :)Lynnette Bonnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14256307943304175911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6979453812706020935.post-74500860978882957662009-09-06T13:59:30.124-04:002009-09-06T13:59:30.124-04:00I've visited several book clubs and enjoy the ...I've visited several book clubs and enjoy the interaction as well.<br />It's just tough to find them!
