The Maine Public Radio book club discussion of The Poacher's Son that I'd previously announced is now available to download as a podcast or listen to online. So if you missed the show, here's your second chance. I'll confess that I found the experience of listening to people talking about my novel a bit like attending my own funeral and listening to the eulogies. But happily the comments here are mostly positive (as I hope they will be at my graveside). I'd be curious to hear what you think of the "Maine Calling" show.
The Poacher's Son on Maine Public Radio
Maine Public Radio has chosen The Poacher's Son as its April selection for its "Maine Calling" Book Club. The network is inviting listeners to read the novel and then listen in at noon on Thursday, April 24 for a panel discussion. You can stream the show live here or download it later. (In case you are wondering the author doesn't appear on the program because the producers want readers to talk frankly about what they liked and didn't like. This is a wise choice, in my opinion—and somewhat of a relief.) The Poacher's Son is only the third book the club has chosen for discussion, and I am honored to be included in this statewide reading initiative.
