Announcing My Next Blog Talk Radio Show with Author Katrina Kittle! - Updated
My next Blog Talk Radio show will be held on Wednesday, April 9th! Katrina Kittle, author of the acclaimed novel The Kindness of Strangers, will speak to a book group calling in to the show, and YOU can call in if you want to as well, or you can email a question in to the show that I'll ask the author to answer on air!
In The Kindness of Strangers, Kittle tells the story of a foster family and how their lives are changed forever by the young boy they take in to raise. The novel raises questions about family, forgiveness and love.
You can browse inside the book here and get the reading group guide here. If you'd like to "meet" Katrina Kittle now, check out this video where she introduces herself and this one where she answers random questions.
If you'd like to participate in the show the evening of April 9th, send me a note via the comments, and I'll send you a copy of the book to read beforehand. As we get closer, I'll contact you about how to call the show and/or post a question online.
Update -- the show on April 9th will be at 8pm EST.
This sounds like a great opportunity! I love author chats!!! I might be a little nervous to call in, but I will definitely send some questions. I hope that doesn't sound like I won't call -- I will if you need me to!

I finished reading this night before last--I was up until 1:30--very compelling and heartbreaking--I can't wait for April 9th.

I'm probably waaaay too late for this, but I'd be interested in participating in the discussion. This book has been on my "TBR" shelf for some time now.

I didn't make it to the discussion but I did read this book partly because I had seen it on your blog and it was recommended to me. What a wonderful novel full of emotion, hope and the will to survive. I thorougly enjoyed it.

Darlene, in case you still want to give it a listen, you can now do so right from this site -- just click on the blue blog talk radio box on the right hand side and you can hear the discussion we had with Katrina Kittle -- which was so interesting and enlightening. I'm so glad that you liked the book!
