Interested in more? Please contact me about both SKYPE and in-person author visits.

Thank you so much for your interest in the Solstice Online Book Club!


Why an online book club? Well, there are lots of great reasons!

* You can bring an author (namely me) to your classroom or library without actually bringing an author to your classroom or library. The online book club is a great way to connect teens with authors.

* With budget cuts and library funds dwindling, the online book club is a way to provide quality content without spending money on travel expenses and honorariums.

* As for content, the Solstice book club questions have been created by teens. These teens have read the book and come up with the questions they most wanted the answers to. And in the videos below, I answer those questions and more.

How it works:
* Assign Solstice as your book club pick.
* Encourage the kids to bring questions to the next meeting.
* Watch the book club videos during the meeting.
* If the questions aren't answered, please contact me! I love to talk about Solstice, and I love to talk to readers!

Topics covered include:
* Greek mythology
* Global warming
* Dystopian worlds
* The Writing Process
* Charater relationships
* Influences for Solstice


Thank You!

A huge special thank you to the Biddeford Book Ninjas for helping provide the questions used in the Solstice Online Book Club! I couldn't have done it without you all!
