Brenda Novak writes wonderful novels, she’s drop dead gorgeous, super smart, and a first class fundraiser for juvenile diabetes.
I know, right? And she has the same number of hours in the day the rest of us do. Yet she gets it all done.
One of the most innovative authors out there, Brenda and her daughter, Alexa, are bringing books, writers, and readers together in a unique online book group. And you can join it right here. Each month, Brenda selects a book to read, share, and discuss.
She’s coming to visit me and Map of the Heart. You should join us because we are telling ALL. And we’re giving away $100 worth of gift cards during the event. Thursday, 21 September, at 8pm eastern. Be there.
I’m so excited, I made her a delicious cake. And I used gingered pears that were  homemade by my favorite reading group–the Bees of Mineral County in Superior, Montana.
This is my go-to cake because the ingredients are always on hand. I learned it years ago from Suzanne who got it from Sunset Magazine… Anyway, you should save this recipe because it’s almost impossible to mess it up.

Map of the Heart was the first book written by you that I read and it definitely won’t be the last! I had such a hard time putting it down! One of the best books I’ve read this year.

Map of the Heart stole my heart! Had never read any of your books, didn’t know what to expect. I couldn’t stop reading! Thank you for a wonderful story! Can’t wait for the book group discussion, and I hope you enjoy your time with us! Brenda is the best, and she encourages us to expand our reading interests. Can’t wait to read more of your books.

The cake sounds delicious! I’ve read a lot of your books and truly loved Map of the Heart, but Just Breathe is my favorite, with Family Tree a close second.
