\n<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Linda Zirkle of the RTFB Book Club was kind enough to invite me to speak about the Stella and Jonas series last week. The night of the meeting, I was tired after teaching school and apprehensive about meeting new, possibly stilted people. I couldn’t have been more wrong about this book club! They were the kindest, funniest, most welcoming group of women you could imagine!<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0There was little I could add to their understanding of Stella and Jonas – I even learned about my own characters through their eyes. In fact, Stella would have fit right in with the mischief and fun in this group. \u00a0It was a delightful evening; I smile remembering the laughter and the exchange of who taught where\/when conversations. I had known Linda and Sharon and maybe Deb before, but it felt like I had known them all for years.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Linda had fixed a lovely homemade meal, topped with made-from-scratch coconut macaroons, just like in the book. Delicious!<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The figurative icing on the cake was that these women were following our pipeline fight and supported it. They volunteered to come to the next rally! [Note: this is certainly not a subject for every living room.] I was in absolute heaven and didn’t want the evening to end.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Thank you one and all. Cheers to books and wild women everywhere! \u00a0May we have them as friends, read about them, and be them!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
