Arkansas Book Club Skype!

Larger than life.
Such a fun time with the Book and Cocktail Club of Fayetteville, Arkansas, last week!  These gals are fun and funny and we all had a terrific time.  I love the virtual book tour because, I get spend real time with readers — talking and listening.  Book store readings and public appearances are great but nothing beats a sit-down with a glass of wine and true dialogue.  Thanks, ladies!
If your book club is reading Chanel, I’d be happy to Skype or Facetime with you.  Just contact me via email.

Adieu, l’été! Auf Wiedersehen, Sommer! ?????????? ????????, ????! Goodbye, Summer! ??????Selamat tinggal, musim panas!

Labor Day weekend is the traditional end of Summer in the United States.  This has been a particularly hot one in Southern California where I live.  And I’ve spent most of it hunkered down at my desk or in an air-conditioned library working on the sequel to Chanel Bonfire.  But I’ve also–via Skype and Facetime, Twitter and Facebook and this blog–been able to meet and talk to many wonderful people who’ve read Chanel and want to discuss it, ask questions or share their own stories of childhood, mothers and sisters.  I’ve made friends with readers in England, France, Germany, Australia, Russia, Latvia, Japan, China, Indonesia, Brazil and many other places as well.  Thank you all for reading the book and sharing your friendship.  Here’s to a wonderful autumn… or spring if you’re in the southern hemisphere!  

The Chanel Bonfire paperback will be out in November!  Just in time for the holidays.

And remember, if your book group is reading Chanel and would like to schedule a Q & A with me via Skype or FaceTime just email me at chanelbonfire@gmail.com!

From an ASL school trip to Paris.
I’m very happy to see people reading the blog from all over the world including one of my favorite places: France.  While I’m hoping for an edition francaise de Chanel Bonfire, the edition anglaise can now be found on www.amazon.fr and so can my new author page with video, Twitter updates and events.  Including an invitation to set up a Book Club Skype or FaceTime session.  Voir pour vous-meme!

Next Chapter Book Club Skype!

Thanks to The Next Chapter Book Club for a truly fun Saturday night!  I can’t tell you how much fun we had and I can’t believe how lucky I am to get to meet so many interesting and thoughtful people.  Chanel was our starting point but there was no end to what we could all discuss and share.

It couldn’t be easier to set up a Skype or FaceTime Q & A with me.  Just email at chanelbonfire@gmail.com.  Whether you’re around the corner or around the world, we can get together.  Cheers!

Reading Chanel in Texas while waiting at Little League!

          Dear Wendy,
          I finished your book on Sunday and have recommended it to at least 4 people. 
          Including my own little sister (I’ll have to time her finishing it with arriving with 
          Kleenex and martinis).
