Hello, Readers!

I recently visited a book group in Maryland and had a wonderful evening discussing Till Taught by Pain. The attendees had some insightful answers to my book club questions (available for download here) and had questions for me that really delved deep into the story. (And into my writing process.)

One question that was asked was, “How can we help promote your book?”—a question to warm any author’s heart! My answer: Word of mouth is best. Tell your friends! Also, review the book on any platform you use (Goodreads, Bookbub, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, StoryGraph, Fable—what am I missing?). Request a purchase at your local library. And choose the book for your book clubs!

If you’d be interested in having me join your book club, in person or virtually, you can reply to this newsletter or contact me at susan@susancoventry.com (be sure to mention the newsletter so that I know you’re not a bot).

On another note: Pride Month is wrapping up, but, thankfully, reading great LGBTQ+ fiction is not restricted to June. Here are some novels I’ve enjoyed and recommend. They also make for thoughtful book club discussions.

If you know someone who might enjoy my newsletter, please share the link.

Keep on Reading!
