Hello Authors in the UK and surrounding countries... We are thinking about doing a second book club meeting next Sunday but we need to get some feedback. In order to have the book club meeting that would happen around 10:00 central time or 4:00 pm (I believe) in the UK, we need to know who all plan on being there. Kathy and I would have to make some arrangements to make that time work as we would also have a book club meeting at 2:00 pm. We would like for at least 10 authors in the UK to let us know that they will most definitely be there in order for us to go ahead and make those arrangements. Please comment below if you know you can make it on Sunday 23rd 2026 at 4:00 pm UK time or 10:00 Am Central time.

I want to thank everyone for coming out today for the book club meeting! I think this was a great time to meet so going forward we will continue to meet at 2:00pm central. Next agenda is to start doing a second meeting at maybe 10:00 am central time on the last Sunday of the month. Kathy and I have to talk about it and reach out to our European members to see if they can join at that time. Have a prosperous month and we will see you next time around!
