Everywhere Siobhan goes readers echo their own experiences of military life as did many at her reading last night. However, there are those readers who have never been close to military life at all and read her book in one sitting.

A 10-city tour for a collection of short stories? Short stories as a Lemuria First Editions Club pick? Amy Einhorn, an imprint of Penguin, definitely has a remarkable ability for picking fresh new talent. It was just two years ago that Kathryn Stockett made her debut with The Help. In both cases, Lemuria was lucky enough to work with these authors.

Even though Siobhan is wrapping up her tour today, independent booksellers will continue the buzz just as we at Lemuria spread the word:

“I just read a great book . . .”

Joe writes about selecting You Know When the Men Are Gone for our January First Editions Club selection here. Lisa writes about the special appeal this collection of short stories will have to military families, and Lemuria customer Donna Evans shares her connection to the book–read all about it here.
