I finished another session of my Temple University “Sneak Peek at Next Year’s Bestsellers” class last week:
(http://amb-hercules.ftwash.temple.edu/CourseStatus.awp?~~08B8340).
We had a great time! What a great group of people in this class – great readers all! Thank you, class! We had some great discussions.
This time we read four books:
Stealing Athena by Karen Essex
The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski
A Proper Knowledge by Michelle Latiolais
Hallam’s War by Elizabeth Payne Rosen
If you’re thinking that you haven’t heard of these books, that’s because they haven’t been published yet. That’s the “Sneak Peek” part of the class – we get to read ‘em BEFORE they’re published, thanks to some wonderful publishers who participate in my program.
I’ve already had the pleasure of blogging with Karen Essex. Over the next few days, I’d like to share some more with you about the other three books, as well as about how they got published and who published them – and what my class thought of them!

As Holden Caulfield famously said, sometimes you like a book so much, you wish you could just pick up the phone and give the author a call. That’s what this blog is all about. In tribute to J.D. Salinger’s indelible protagonist from The Catcher in the Rye, I’m going to contact authors whose books I’ve been reading, and ask them questions about their work, which I will then share with you in this blog. Feel free to post questions of your own in the comments section. Read on!

“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you’re all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it.” --The Catcher in the Rye
