If your book club has chosen Montecito: A Novel as its next read, then thank you! We put together this reading group discussion guide for the Advanced Placement book clubs … the honors students … the clubs that kick out members who admit to DNF’ing the assigned reading! If your book club is hard core, this guide is for you.

Kidding, of course. We designed this hoping a little behind the scenes color would spur vibrant conversation. Within is an interview with me and a series of questions and prompts, including the one I’m most curious about when I talk with Montecito readers: Have you or someone you know ever been scammed before? What was the scam and how did the scammer trick their victims?

If your club is interested in having me join in your discussion, fill out the form below and let me know what date(s) and time(s) you are considering. If possible, I would love to join!
