Book Tour Turnaround!
Hi,
Just when I couldn't get over last week's reader Tweeting in real-time her thoughts on DUTY AND DESIRE... I received a phone call 2 nights ago from another readers.
She wasn't just a reader this time... but 1 of 2 women who interviewed me for the community channel in my Connecticut book tour 2 weeks ago. Sandy read DUTY AND DESIRE from 8pm - 4am one night and similarly the next night. She said she "couldn't put the book down" and wanted to discuss some aspects of the book and issues in the novel.
I listened to what she had to say and we chatted for a while. Then she had more questions, shared more of her thoughts with me and I was surprised how deeply she had dissolved in the story. For 9 years... now running 10... I thought I was the only one who cared enough to sit back and think about issues in DUTY AND DESIRE. But it turns out I'm wrong. The readers are taking to the story more than I had ever dreamed of... and they want to discuss it.
Sandy suggested we have an on-air book club discussion once others in her group have read the book.
I am truly speechless. I am in shock. I am over the moon. :)
