I’m happy to join book club discussions about my novels any time I can. I’ve done phone conferences with book clubs who read THE SEX CLUB (they had fun joking about phone sex), and I’ll meet in person with groups within diving distance of Eugene, OR.  I’m also set up to have Skype discussions now too.

If you’re interested please contact me. (ljsellers dot novelist @ gmail dot com)

I’ve also provided some sample book discussion questions to jump start your conversations with or without me.

The Sex Club

• Kera withholds information from Detective Jackson to protect her clients’ privacy as she is obligated to do as an employee of Planned Parenthood. How do you feel about that decision? Was it morally the right choice? Would you have handled it differently?
• In what ways did the author reveal her values and beliefs through the events of the story? Was it subtle and effective? Or did it feel heavy handed at times? Did the story make you question your own beliefs and assumptions?
• In the end, the author leaves the exact circumstances of Jessie’s death somewhat ambiguous. How did you feel about that? Did you believe the mayor’s story? Did you want him to suffer harsher consequences?

Secrets to  Die For

• The subject of female homosexuality becomes an issue and motive in this novel. Did the author handle it well? Did the detectives handle it well? Did it make you uncomfortable?
• Were all the motives of the suspects believable? Did you know or suspect the killer before it was revealed?
• How did you feel about the reporter’s involvement in the story? Was it believable Sophie found the connection before Jackson did?
• A reviewer on Goodreads said she would have given the book 5 stars except for a paragraph near the end, which she disliked, so she only gave it 4 stars.  Do you know what paragraph she’s talking about? If you do, please let me know
