We’re Having a Twitter Party!
Send to KindleGreat news! Penguin (@ReadPenguin) has chosen my latest mystery, A DANGEROUS FICTION, to be its book of the month, which entails two book chats on Twitter. It’s just come out in paperback, which also brings the ebook price down, so it’s an auspicious time for the book to be featured.
Here’s the announement from Penguin:
“Every month we’ll be inviting our @PenguinUSA Twitter followers to join us in reading and discussing a book selected by the staff here at Penguin. We’ll be checking in on Twitter periodically throughout the month, letting followers know where we are in the book, and opening the forum for discussion (but please, no spoilers!). We invite users to ask questions about the book as they read, and to look out for tweets about when we’ll be dedicating time for “mini book club meetings” during the course of the month.
Be sure you use #readpenguin when you tweet.”
Naturally this good news fills me with anxiety. What if they throw this party and nobody comes? If you Tweet, I hope you’ll jump in. First chat’s on Sept. 9 from 3-4PM ET. Please mark your calendars! The book’s a murder mystery set in publishing world, so highly cathartic for the peons in that cosmos (that would be us writers.) Here’s an excerpt. Hope to see you there!

Congratulations, Barbara. I don't tweet. But I might try to look in on the discussion since I've read the book.
Thanks, Mary, if you can manage it would be great to see you there. Twitter's actually a lot of fun, once you get past the breakers.
Okay, I'll try it, Barbara. I managed to find your Twitter account once, so I should be able to find readpenguin. That's 12:00 to 1:00 my time, so I'll try to finish lunch a little early.
