Book Club Selection

October 6th, 2006

I am pleased to announce that the Park Ridge Senior Center Book Discussion Group has selected my murder mystery novel, PARK RIDGE, for its November book. The group leader was particularly pleased that my media kit included discussion questions, which will make her preparation easier.

My book addresses the detrimental assigning of labels such as ”active” and “passive” to seniors within a setting such as the senior center. Furthermore, it tackles the sense of superiority which “active” seniors can take toward those perceived as “passive.” I used the idea that resentment can fester into murder. In fact, I probably could have called the book, Revenge of the Pinochle Players. Because of this, I felt it would be useful to create a discussion guide which could be used to facilitate an examination of attitudes, hopefully an adjustment of them.

SPOILER NOTICE!

The questions in their entirety are posted on my website, but if you haven’t read the book yet, be advised that they reveal some of the plot and the ending.

I’m planning on looking at some of those questions on this blog. I’ve already posted the first. You’ll find it under “Study Qs.”
