About Me:
I am 48 and only started to really read for pleasure about 5 years ago. After watching my daughter devour book after book, my interest grew. Now, not only does she read them, she is also writing them. So, now I have even greater reason to read. She recently had her second fantasy fiction novel published. You can check her out at http://www.markellegrabo.com Besides reading and meeting with mybook club, I love to scrap book, camp,bike, hike and garden and go to movies with my daughter. And of course I love to shop.

Sample Chapters

One of the best tools I have seen writers use to bring in readers is to offer sample chapters. Amazon has had that available on certain books for several years now. Couple that with some decent reviews and bingo, a numbers jump. This group is for those authors who wish to provide a sample to do so. You will find some of mine here, enjoy. If you do read a chapter, please comment. The one thing all writers need is feedback.See More

Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah

This is a story about true and everlasting friendship. A bond that even through the trials of teenage angst, college optimism, and the formation of new family trees, never dies.

Kate and Tully related to us, as us. We shared their music, their experiences and understood their struggles. We relate either by ways of self experience or by knowing someone who mirrored their lives.

Kristin Hannah gave our book club a full two hours of great discussion. She brought Kate, Tully,…

My book clubs review of Journey into the Realm: The Elf Girl by Markelle Grabo

The Triple B Book Club, Wisconsin, found this book a delight to read. We are all over 40 and had a great night of discussion. Ramsey, Addison and Stellan are the main characters of the story, but every additional elf, fairy or other magical creature brings life and great imagination to the reader. While you are in the world of imagination, Markelle keeps the story grounded with many life lessons that one can relate to. Each of us had our own favorite character, but we all agreed that Stellan…
