Testimonials

After Burlingame Public Library hosted our "Women of Mystery" book club, they said "We all had a great time with the program and people were disappointed that it was ending and asked, 'What's next?'  We've decided to start an evening book club in the fall to carry on the fun!"

A librarian at the Westwood branch of Los Angeles Public Library wrote the following in her evaluation of "Mysterious California": "We adore your book clubs in a box!  Keep offering new ones."
