My New Novel - Book Clubs First
My new novel, How to Love in a World Like This, will be published later this year. I'll include more details below. But first! I want to tell you: I am making a special, pre-release offer to book clubs. Here's how it works...
I will send copies of the novel to your book club, at no charge.
In return, I ask that you read the book. If you like it, please tell your friends and post reviews.
If you don't have a book club, you can form one—it just takes two people.
To sign up, send email to kipling@kiplingknox.com and include the names of your book club members, with their email addresses.
Deadline to sign up is November 15.
Why am I doing this? Well, I love book clubs. What a great thing to have a club about! As a writer, my goal is to create entertaining, thought-provoking stories that have a positive impact on readers' lives. As a publisher, my goal is to reach more readers. So book clubs seem like a good place to start.
Now, about the novel...
About How to Love in a World Like This
When Morgan and Arthur trade city life for a small Illinois farm, their dream quickly unravels among hostile neighbors and a depleted land. The discovery of a corpse in their woods strains their marriage to a breaking point. As Morgan retreats to her old life in Chicago, and Arthur schemes to salvage the farm and win her back, the couple is drawn into a deeper conspiracy. Ultimately they face an ethical dilemma that might change the course of their lives. Darkly comic and sharply observant, this novel explores love and redemption in a fractured America, blending psychology and suspense in an intensely gratifying story.
Praise for How to Love in a World Like This
"A triumphant return to Middling, the fictional town from Under the Moon in Illinois... Part mystery, part ghost story, part shrewd social commentary, and all love story, How to Love in a World Like This is a Midwestern Gothic masterpiece."
— Elaine Palencia
“There is something magical about Knox’s writing, haunting in its lyricism. Love is a form of magic, and his wonderfully realized characters remind us that magic is in all of us, no matter how broken we think we are. A remarkable, beautiful novel.”
— Frank Chadwick
“In this crafty novel, we watch events through two sets of eyes, each with a story of its own. But gradually we realize this is the larger human story we all are drifting in. Knox delivers what literary fiction offers at its best: a note of hope, a fragile sense of possibility, a glimpse of light we can believe.”
— Tamim Ansary
Feel free to share this note with other book clubs. And thank you for considering it!
Have a good one,
Kipling Knox
