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!”
Just made my day-would love to be involved
Yay! Thank you Pam. I’m excited to have more eyes, hearts and brains working through this book with me. Please let me know if I can help you with the Patreon/Facebook process, and then we’ll get started with the fun part.
I would like to sign up for your book club but I’m having trouble with the Patreon site.
Hi Diane! Thank you for letting me know. I might be able to help on my end with Patreon. I’ve sent you an email with my contact information: please email or call if it’s not working and we’ll figure it out together. Thank you for your interest, and your patience with this part of the process!
