I get many requests to visit bookclubs, and I love doing these events, but it's often hard for me to get to them, so I came up with a solution: if you're a bookclub member and would like me to visit your bookclub as an on-line guest, send an email to Bookclubs@gailanderson-dargatz.ca and our forum administrator will contact you and help you set up a forum for your club on this site.

Your bookclub forum will be private (hidden from public view) and only your bookclub members, our administrator and myself will be able to access it. Your bookclub will gather on this forum on an agreed upon day and time, and I'll be your on-line guest, answering your questions about my books, and chatting with you. There is no cost involved and I will not add your name to any lists. It's simply a chance for me to get together with you for a visit.

Book club members can also ask questions on the public forums provided. You can also gather ideas for your book club under "Gail's Picks" and "Your Picks," as well as in the chats I have with other authors about their books in the guest author forum. My first of these conversations was with Pearl Luke, author of Madame Zee. And take a look at the recipe section. What's a book club without goodies? I've started it off with recipes I've used in my own novels.

Check it all out at www.gailanderson-dargatz.ca under forums.

Note the photo above is one from my upcoming novel Turtle Valley. It was taken by Mitch Krupp and the inkwell belonged to my own grandmother.

Can't wait to chat with you on the forum!
