Join the Book Club

You’re invited to join our book club … for a book I’m still writing.

What is the Buds Book Club?

Our book club is a private group on Facebook.

I post draft chapters of my 2nd mystery novel, Buds, for reading and discussion. Along with each draft, I ask specific questions that I’m wondering about, but all questions / comments / discussions are welcome.

Your feedback and our conversations will help me rewrite those chapters, and guide me as I continue to write the story.

Who can join?

Everyone is welcome. It takes a village to plan the perfect murder.

This group is part of my Patreon community: patrons of either level are invited to join our private Buds Book Club group on Facebook.

(If you don’t use Facebook, you can still get the draft chapters, ask questions and provide feedback via our Patreon community page.)

Will I like reading the book?

I write character-driven, traditional, literary mysteries: no gore, minimal violence. I strive to tell stories like those of Louise Penny, Agatha Christie, Charles Todd, Gail Bowen, Murder She Wrote, Midsomer Murders, Columbo

This novel is set in the Columbia Valley of British Columbia, Canada. I write a lot of strong, female characters.

If you aren’t having fun, it’s easy to leave the Facebook group (and cancel your membership in my Patreon community) at any time.

How do I join this weird book club?

If reading, discussing & improving a book-in-progress is your cup o’ tea, please consider giving our book club a try. There are two steps:

STEP 1: Join my 2020-2022 Patreon community. For $5/month ($60/year), we can kill someone together. (I use that money for books & webinars to become a better writer.) Click here to choose your Patreon level.

STEP 2: Join our Buds Book Club group on Facebook.

I hope to see you there!

What our book club members are saying:

“I love these conversations. They are great for discovering little things. We all catch different things as we read and these trigger thoughts in others in the group. I am loving this process. It is a brilliant idea.”

“This is so exciting to be able to read as you go, and to do this as a group. It feels like I’m doing something!”
