The ladies were so warm and
welcoming. Phyllis, who keeps track of their reading selections, said that in
the nine years since the book club had started, they’d never had an author at their meetings. Of course, I felt honored that they had read—and liked—my story and that they
had invited me to spend the evening with them.

Look at the yummy treats Marsha
prepared!
There was lots of laughter and
good cheer as we talked about books and the types of stories we love to read. I
told them about my journey to publication and my writing schedule now that I’m
published as well as the process for submitting a proposal and then seeing a
story through the editing stages to final copy. We also talked about Christian publishing and Love
Inspired’s success within the inspirational genre.
The evening passed too
quickly, but they asked me to return another time, which I’d love to do. What
writer wouldn’t want to gather with such charming ladies and talk about books and writing!
Thank you, Bonnie, for inviting me
to your book club. I had a delightful time.
Tell me about the book clubs in
your local area. As a writer, do you enjoy meeting with book club readers? As
readers, do you often host authors at your monthly book club meetings?
Happy reading! Happy writing!
Wishing you abundant blessings,

SOLDIER’S SISTER
By
Debby Giusti
WHO
WILL PROTECT HER?
Someone
wants Stephanie Upton dead. A warning to leave town is just the
beginning. Fearing for her life, Stephanie turns to Special Agent Brody
Goodman for help and protection. But can she trust him when he’s
convinced her own brother is a prime suspect? Torn between her devotion
to two men—an estranged brother whose trust she yearns to regain
and an agent she may be falling for—Stephanie doesn’t know who
or what to believe. As feelings between her and Brody escalate, she’ll
have to choose sides to stay alive.
