Adventures

[close] Hello! Welcome to a local book group! I wanted to create a group in my area where members could meet fellow JPers that love books! Depending on if anyone has any interest, we can organize meetings in town (JP Licks, Ula cafe or picnic in the arboretum anyone?) or simply discuss online. I am not big on "book clubs" mostly because I have a pretty rigorous "to be read" list and don't like to stray far from it (so many books, so little time you know!). I do not want to force anyone to read anything they aren't interested in. That said, I would LOVE to discuss books that I happened to be reading or that I am planning on reading with people who have shown similar interest those books. I am picturing fellow members checking out one another's TBR lists and seeing if there are any books in common! That way, we can all be sure to be reading something we had an initial interest in. Also, I want to meet new friends in J.P. and go on adventures! :) Obviously... that goes without saying.

[close] Patrick Jones is the bestselling author of "The Wolf's Moon" with a New Short Book release of "The River". Another novel is near completion and the sequel to "The Wolf's Moon" is also in progress. Please see the following Amazon author bio: Pat Jones was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. His special interests include the science of paleoanthropology and archaeology. Woodworking is one of his favorite hobbies, with special emphasis on the unique grains and textures of various species of trees. He and his wife, Sandy, thrive on designing and creating a flower garden of perennials, second to none! Constantly evolving, the garden began as a way that he could surprise his wife on her birthday. The rest is history! The garden now spans one fourth of an acre! When their children graduated from school, the couple relocated to rural Missouri where they now reside with their four dogs. The love of the area, in combination with the uniqueness of the people, provided the impedance for "The Wolf's Moon." The book was followed by the production of an audiobook narrated by Mark Westfield on ACX Audible. A short story, “The River,” followed shortly thereafter. The sequel to "The Wolf's Moon" is already in the works and proves to be yet another suspenseful page-turner! Pat believes that there is a story in everything. Everybody that he meets has their own special story; one simply has to take the time to listen. The story then writes itself.
