Why Your Book Club Might Be Exactly Who I’m Writing For
Some books are easy to suggest. The ones that matter rarely are. You want something with depth, something that invites reflection, something strong enough to carry a conversation past the last page.
Problem is, the books that start real conversations are often the ones no one wants to bring into the room first. Too intense. Too political. Too much. We all say we want meaningful discussions. But someone still has to be the first to light the match.
That’s exactly why I think your group might be the right one for these stories.
When I wrote The Fatherhood Mandate, I thought it would be a one-time project. One sharp story with political weight and personal cost. Then I’d move on. But readers didn’t want to move on. They wanted Rylee’s perspective. They needed to understand the world Allison would grow up in. They wanted to know what happened next. And I realized these stories weren’t meant to sit quietly on a shelf. They were meant to be shared, discussed, turned over in your hands like a question that refuses to settle.
The Unborn Child Protection Act series doesn’t offer easy answers. These books live in the tension between law and identity, parenthood and control, freedom and compliance. They ask what happens when family becomes a legal designation instead of something you choose. And what happens when the system no longer pretends to care what you want.
But they’re also about people. About girls trying to find a way out. About parents making impossible choices. About the quiet strength it takes to resist when no one believes you should.
These stories open the door to conversations about power, parental rights, consent, surveillance, race, class, religion, and what it means to raise a child in a world that watches your every move. Whether your group leans literary, political, or personal, there’s something in these pages worth unpacking together.
I believe the best book clubs aren’t afraid of discomfort. They don’t back down when someone says, “That part got to me.” They stay in the conversation. They keep asking questions. They make space for disagreement without shutting down. They let the book breathe, even when it hurts.
If you’ve read these stories and found yourself needing to talk about them, that’s the moment they became something more. And if your club is willing to go there with you, you’re not just choosing a book. You’re choosing to face the world as it is and imagine what it could become in the near future.
So, here’s the deal: Your club members can buy EPUBs or signed paperbacks directly from my site with a 10% discount. If you’re interested, I can join the meeting via Zoom or Google Meets to join your conversation. And if your club orders ten or more copies, I’ll send a custom Resistance Kit with story-based extras: a sealed message from a character, replica court forms or recipes. Who knows, maybe even some discreet merch from the world they’re resisting.
When your group buys directly from me, you’re not just skipping Amazon. You’re investing in the stories that don’t flinch, the voices that go there, and the authors who keep writing even when it’s hard to look.
Some stories are invitations. Others are warnings. These books are both. So, download the guide to A Ward of the State and grab your discount now!
