Book Clubs!
So you want to read one of my books in your book club!
Bold choice!
First of all, many, many thanks for that! I hope you and your group will love it! If they don't, just remember my name is Rob McHugh.
Jokes aside, if you would like for me to speak to your book club, I am very open to it! If you are within an hour or so drive of me (in Central Alabama) then schedule allowing I would love to come speak in person. But if you are in the 99.9% of the world that isn't within quick driving distance of mine, then I am more than happy to jump on a zoom call or the like. I am also open to just answering emailed questions. Really, whatever works best for your group.
With enough time and heads up, I would like to mail your group a small batch of goodies. Spoiler: it will be stickers probably. Something I can fit in an envelope. Maybe an art card. Idk. Depends on what I have on hand. Just reach out and let me know how many people are in your group.
Will speak to groups for link sausage.
