You’re invited to join the Written in Secret Book Club and the First 50 Pages Giveaway

by | Feb 22, 2025 | Bonus Content, Crystal's Books

Hi all! I wanted to invite you to join a Facebook group I created JUST for Written in Secret discussion! I know how exciting it can be to read a book and then disappointing to have no one to talk about it with. That’s why I created the Written in Secret Book Club group. Who knows, if it goes well, I might do it for every book!

I’ve already listed all the discussion questions from the back of the book (plus a couple extra) into individual discussion posts and an ask-the-author post. If we get enough people discussing the book, I’ll probably pull together a Facebook live or Zoom, along with some special giveaways.

I’m also hosting a giveaway for EVERYONE, regardless of whether you are on Facebook or not, called The First 50 Pages giveaway. All it requires is for you to find the answer to the question found in the first 50 pages of the book Written in Secret and fill out this Google Form. From there, you’ll be entered for a chance to win a $25 Amazon or Baker Book House gift card.

I hope to see you at the discussion group!!

In the heart of nineteenth-century Cincinnati one woman holds the power to rewrite history.

What happens when fiction becomes reality? In the corruption-infested Queen City, danger lurks in every shadow, but Lydia Pelton refuses to stay silent. She writes under a pseudonym, E. A. Dupin, crafting crime novels to exact justice and right the wrongs she sees in society. When a serial killer decides to be the sword to her pen, Lydia is confronted with the consequences of her words. Four men are dead, and the city blames her.

With murders on the rise, Officer Abraham Hall’s only lead is Lydia’s fiction, and he is thrust into an investigation with the “Killer Queen of Romance.” Despite his misgivings about the woman, he realizes that even with his reputation for catching elusive criminals, he needs her help. But his unexpected attraction to Lydia proves as difficult to manage as the woman herself.

As the mystery unfolds, Abraham and Lydia race to rewrite the ending, not only for Cincinnati’s citizens, but for their own hearts too.

I Need Your Feedback

I Need Your Feedback

by | Jun 27, 2020 | Book and Writing Events, Writer's Life

Hi faithful readers!

I’m considering doing an every-other-month book club via my website and Facebook author page. Is this something you would be interested in?

I’ve always wanted to be part of a book club, but I’ve never had the joy of having local readers with similar tastes. I thought it would be great to get together with others who like reading Christian Historical Romance (like you!) and have our own online book club. I’m still trying to sort the idea out, but before I put too much effort into it, I wanted to have your feedback.

 

My current thought is to vote on a Christian Historical Romance novel, pick a day where we come together via Zoom (or just posts online) to discuss the book, play a game or two, and participate in a giveaway. I’d send discussion questions ahead of time because if you are like me, you need time to think and process. It would be an event you sign up for ahead of time and wouldn’t necessarily have to participate every time.

If I did it, I think the schedule would be January, March, May, July, September, and early November (to avoid holiday hassles).

 

The first one would be pretty short notice for this July, but the book options I’m thinking are:

 

  1. The Lost Lieutenant by Erica Vetsch – Regency
  2. A Name Unknown by Roseanna M. White – WWI
  3. Veiled in Smoke by Jocelyn Green – The Great Chicago Fire

 

If this is something you are interested in, please comment below. Let me know what book would be your top choice and any suggestions you might have.
