One Year Anniversary for Bartlett's Rule!

Woo-Hoo!

Bartlett's Rule has been on the market for a full year - my goodness it seems like only yesterday...

I have had so many wonderful experiences with this book. I've loved the book discussion groups, the book signings, and watching the sales ranks.

Bartlett's Rule underwent a face change several months ago after we spoke with readers who thought the couple on the cover needed to look older and it seems that the new cover is rather eye-catching now.

If you haven't read it yet, please do - I would love to hear your comments.

Bartlett's Rule shares the story of Lon and Paige's love affair; a romance filled with hardship, emotion, danger and triumph. Falling in love was never the challenge; being there for each other, knowing just what to say and making it work is the real test. Paige and Lon are real ; they are human, they cry and they laugh. Paige has to learn to trust. Lon has to learn to be patient.

Would you like to read the first chapter? http://tr.im/hv3I

Discussion Starters for Bartlett’s Rule by Chelle Cordero

1. How does Bartlett’s Rule explore the two distinct personalities of the main characters?

2. Discuss how the different personalities emerge in the beginning of the novel. Do these personalities stay constant?

3. How much do you think society’s expectations influenced Lon towards building his reputation as a player?

4. What pressures does society place on men in relationships? How different are those pressures now in 2008 as opposed to, let’s say, the 1950’s?

5. Lon admits he has to rethink his view of rape when he learns that Paige was raped by an ex-lover and not a stranger with a weapon. Discuss different concepts of what is rape, what is sexual abuse?

6. Have a discussion about Paige’s emotional scars and the trust she felt was betrayed. Should Paige “just get over it”? How realistic are some of her reactions? Was Paige allowing herself to move ahead? Discuss Lon’s support of her.

7. Hal attempts to blame people like Lon for the way he treated Paige. How does TV/music/movies/novels affect actions and at what point is the individual responsible for his/her own actions? For example, courtroom dramas like to blame the influence of TV, etc. for today’s violence.

8. Some TV/radio/print personalities enjoy an almost cult following and are considered “experts” in their various fields. Discuss some of these self-proclaimed “experts”: Dr. Ruth, Oprah, Dr. Phil, Geraldo, etc. Do these ‘stars’ sensationalize rape? How so?

9. How do you think you would feel if your private life, particularly romance, was scrutinized by the paparazzi? How much does a public figure owe to the public and fans in terms of privacy? How much does the media have the right to report?

Just sharing the latest press release...
