Hey Christina, We have Shoulder Season on our book club agenda for August this year and I'm hoping you'll have some discussion questions ready by then. Can you share them with us please? Thanks! We're so excited to dig into your newest work! LOVED The Second Home! Shelly

I will have discussion questions, and I'll be sure to post them on my website, http://christinaclancywrites.com. Usually Macmillan also posts them on their author pages, too. I'm biased, but I feel like Shoulder Season will provoke lots of good discussion about the ways in which events of our past influence our futures, what it's like to inhabit a young body and then an older one, and there's lots to think about in terms of masculinity. Like The Second Home, I think Shoulder Season asks what it means to be a "good man." And, of course, what's home? (less)

I just finished THE SECOND HOME and am experiencing a total book hangover; I cannot move on from Cape Cod, Ann, Poppy and Michael. I came on here to see what else you have written and could not exit without leaving a message to tell you how much I enjoyed your first novel. I adore Cape Cod, have visited many times over the years and after reading you book I know I need to visit again. You brought it to life for me?

I'm so happy that you were able to return to the sights and smells of Cape Cod through the novel, and that you enjoyed spending time with the characters. This is my debut novel, but I have another book coming out next year (fingers crossed!). In fact, I think I will finish my edits today or tomorrow, and then the fun begins with picking out a cover and working with the press to have the book find its way to you. The topic of book two might sound different, but my editor tells me that it reads like a "Christina Clancy book." Thanks so much for writing! (less)

“All the lives she could possibly lead dangled in her future, still deliciously unknown to her. What made her youthfulness so deliriously exciting was the cornucopia of possibilities that awaited her, although she was blissfully unaware that most would necessarily go unrealized.”
