Thanks for such an informative website. My young adult novel, CAMP, will be published in June 2012 (now available for pre-order on Amazon.com), and I’m eager to get the word out to mother-daughter book clubs.

CAMP is a coming-of-age novel about mothers and daughters, bullying, and the collateral damage of family secrets. Here’s how it’s described on Amazon:

Every secret has a price.

For most girls, sleepaway camp is great fun. But for Amy Becker, it’s a nightmare. Amy, whose home life is in turmoil, is sent away to Camp Takawanda for Girls for the first time as a teenager. Although Amy hates summers at home with her German-immigrant mother, Amy is less than thrilled about going away to camp. At Takawanda she is subjected to a humiliating “initiation” and to relentless bullying by the ringleader of the senior campers. As Amy struggles to stop the mean girls from tormenting her, she becomes more confident. Then her cousin reveals dark secrets about Amy’s mother’s past, and Amy’s world is changed forever.

Camp is a mother-daughter story for mothers and daughters to share. Perfect for mother-daughter book groups.

Thanks so much, Cindy, for letting me share this with your readers. I hope they will visit my Author Elaine Wolf Facebook page and my website: authorelainewolf.com.

We just debuted our new imprint at the NEIBA conference in Providence with the release of the first pair of books in our new Back-to-Back Book™ series. La Comtesse and Thérèse’s Adventure introduce paired adult-child literature designed to stimulate discussion between generations. Adults will welcome this new approach to keeping communication open as young people start to grow and become independent. Back-to-Back Books™ are “books to share in pairs.”

Back-to-Back Books™ contain different stories with connected characters, each book written specifically for the age of the reader. Author Charlotte Rolfe was drawn to this concept because of the “many wonderful years that my mother and I spent talking about books together.” Thérèse’s Adventure is written for the young person who comfortably reads chapter books, and La Comtesse is adult fiction. Both novels are set in the period just after the French Revolution. To enhance the reading experience, Flying Corgi Media’s website, http://www.flyingcorgimedia.com, provides pictures of the French settings and other highlights of the books, links to information about the historical period, a glossary, suggestions for activities and other features.

The books are available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or ask for them at your local independent bookstore.

We would love to hear from you and other members of mother-daughter book clubs. Reach us via our website, facebook page, and follow us on Twitter at FlyinCorgiMedia.

We hope you’ll find this news worthy of sharing with your network. Attached is a brief description and image for your use. There is also a videotaped message for readers from our Classic host, Laura Linney, at http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/bookclub/index.html

I LOVE your site! I will refer back to it often, and I’ve added it to my list of favorites on my blog.

Thank you for placing my book on your site. It looks very nice and the write up is great except my book came out in 2007 so it is not a new book, but it is a book that is not time or season sensitive.

Thank you,
