Book Club Inquiry
I love book clubs and have been a member of one myself. I would love to come and visit your book club either virtually or physically (in the Sacramento/Foothills area). Connect with me through Novel Network: All book club scheduling is done via Novel Network. This is a free service that arranges a 30-minute online visit either by FaceTime, Skype, or phone. The visit is free and so is your membership. There is, however, a small fee for longer, one-hour online and/or in-person visits. Please click here to sign up for your Novel Network membership and to request an in-person or online visit to your book club. Thank you!
