The SH Reading book club was formed during the pandemic by my dear friend Lorie. I didn’t know her before I joined the group via Facebook, and I didn’t really get to know her until she asked if anyone wanted to read a novel she was working on. We ended up swapping manuscripts and the rest is history. She is one of two author friends who inspired me to publish Mathey Girls on my own, and helped with proofreading the final draft (any remaining errors are of course my own).
When I was looking for beta readers for Mathey Girls, I reached out to the other members of the book club, and three women offered to give feedback. This was hugely helpful, to have discerning readers who didn’t know me in real life read the draft and provide comments.
Fast forward two years (!!) later: we got to discuss Mathey Girls as an official book club selection! I’m truly grateful for the support and feedback each of the women in this photo offered. This book club reads some really great books (The Safekeep, James, Martyr!, etc) and we always have a very interesting and intelligent discussion. To have these sharp readers turn their insight and wisdom towards Mathey Girls was an honor.
