Book Clubs and Speaking Engagements
I'm interested in speaking engagements staged as discussions with community members, particularly events co-sponsored with local bookstores and groups concerned with homelessness, social justice or suicide awareness.
Download A Dialogue on Home & Homelessness to see how it works.
I'm typically in Minnesota May-November and Colorado the rest of the year. Contact me via email to see if a live visit or a Skype or FaceTime call would work best for your book club.
Here's a Reading Group Guide for Monument Road. And one for Inhabited.
"Our book group loved Monument Road by Charlie Quimby. The writing is excellent, the characters are memorable, and there is just enough ambiguity to make for a great discussion about motives and possible explanations for events in the story."
–Minnesota Book Club Reader
"We found the writing beautiful, the sense of place profound, the plot engaging and surprising, and the characters complex and interesting. We heartily recommend it for other book groups!"
–Minnesota Book Club Reader
"I am still living the lives of the characters, the setting and the clever weaving together of the story line. I loved his metaphors, especially 'All of humankind’s just a morning mist that’s mistaken itself for the ocean!' His descriptions were rich and totally accurate, he nailed the Grand Valley."
–Colorado Book Club Reader
"I wish you could have heard the comments after we signed off of Skype. My computer is imploding this morning with thank yous and compliments... Can't wait to have you back to talk about the next book."
–Washington D.C. Book Club Organizer
"Everyone loved the book, I'll tell you that at the outset! Some had spent time in that area of the country so really enjoyed the description. Everyone liked the character development . . . even those characters who didn't behave well had some redeeming feature. And, all thought it a very satisfying ending."
