Book Groups
A book addressing an array of provocative topics - women's rights, foreign policy, idealism/volunteerism, racism, religion - When I Was Elena is perfect foder for book group discussions. You'll find yourself debating indigenous rights while at the same time vicariously reveling in the sumptuous journey to this foreign country.
An avid book groupie herself, Ellen knows that the only thing that could make it better would be the oppportunity to directly question the author herself about her experiences, her motives, and her writing methods. Now you can.
Count your book group in!
Ellen happily schedules discussions with book groups. Booked on a first-come, first-served basis, all you have to do is pick an available week, gather your readers around a speaker phone and fire away with your questions. OR, EVEN BETTER, IF YOU'RE IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, ELLEN WILL BE HAPPY TO JOIN YOU IN PERSON!
The chance to interact directly with an author in this manner is an unprecedented experience.
