Voice of the River Valley

I have a monthly writing column in Southwest Wisconsin's Voice of the River Valley. Look for Between the Lines each month. The Voice of the River Valley is a wonderful publication, be sure to pick one up when you are in the area to find out all about what is going on and the incredible people who lived here. If you missed seeing one of my columns, past ones are here.

New for reading groups!

After several terrific book club meetings, I now have completed a reading group guide for Jasper Mountain as well as First, There is a River. They come with a spoiler alert, though. If you haven't read the book yet, these guides will give some plot surprises away. So read first, study later :o)

Also, I've done a few book clubs over-the-phone. They have really turned out to be fun. All you need is a speakerphone. Contact me via e-mail and let's see if we can set up a "live" book club discussion. Or, if you are in southwest Wisconsin or around Rockford, Illinois, I can come to your book club meeting. I love to talk to readers and enjoy the myriad of questions and discussions they generate. Happy reading!
