Enjoy the time with Carla--she's a lovely person. I have her book high up on my to-read pile on the nightstand.

Thanks for having me, Libby. This was great.

Thank you, Irene and everyone at AuthorExposure. This has been fascinating for me. I gained much insight into my own book. How incredible.

Thank you for joining us, Randy. “The Murderer’s Daughters” is a very thought-provoking read and I would definitely recommend it. It’s perfect for book clubs. Also, thanks to all who helped make this a successful book club meeting. Next month we will be discussing "The Things That Keep Us Here" by Carla Buckley.

Libby, thank you so much for this wonderful opport...

Libby, thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity to not only review Randy's book, but also to be able to participate in this live author chat.

Randy, thank you for writing your book and giving us your time to participate in this discussion.

Thank you for your kind words, Libby!

My book was published here(Jan 19) before anywhere else. The Dutch brought it out in early February, as did Australia--so my experience was that St. Martin's had it out first (here and in Canada)

2010-02-18T10:52:34.705-05:00

It's coming out in Britain, Ireland, Scotland, Israel, Germany, Portugal, Taiwan, France and has just released in Australia.

Congratulations! The Dutch are intelligent people...

I find it interesting that a number of books are published off-shore before being published in the U.S. Why is that?

I am certainly looking forward to your next book. ...

2010-02-18T10:51:38.180-05:00

I am certainly looking forward to your next book. You are a truly gifted writer. Keep writing!

Congrats! That's fabulous news. Has the book been sold in any other countries?

2010-02-18T10:48:46.359-05:00

I am almost done with my next novel--it's getting it's final revision; then my agent can send it to editors--so, I don't think it will be very long. And I already have my nascent plot for the one after that.

2010-02-18T10:47:03.211-05:00

Thank, Irene. And of course, a debut novel isn't always the 'first' one--I have a few practice ones in the drawer. :)

2010-02-18T10:45:46.033-05:00

One thing I found out yesterday that excited me beyond my imagination: THE MURDERER'S DAUGHTERS is now on the best seller list in Holland!

2010-02-18T10:44:52.457-05:00

Yes, thank you for sharing... I really could not believe this was a debut novel. The characters, the writing, and of course, the story offered so much to me as a reader. This book reined me in, and is still running through my mind.

2010-02-18T10:43:01.519-05:00

We only have about 15 more minutes left in our discussion. Please post your questions to Randy before it's too late.

2010-02-18T10:42:08.242-05:00

Thank you , Libby. I truly want a greater awareness of the collateral damage of family violence: it goes far beyond the headlines.

2010-02-18T10:40:15.951-05:00

Randy, thank you sharing that with us. I'm so glad you wrote this novel. The story really touched me and made me think.

I hope everyone has at least one magical moment in their life. :)

2010-02-18T10:34:14.802-05:00

I think it was a powerful experience for both my sister and I--we are closer than ever at this point. She remembered far more than I did--so for her it was more intense. It was the first chapter that was the hard one for her. Of course the individual events are not true, but the overall make-up (except for the actual violence!) had much truth. My sister DID open the door when she'd been told not to, and she did let in my father, and she did have to run to the neighbor for help.

I agree, Irene. I remember going "hmm" to myself w...

2010-02-18T10:32:39.836-05:00

I agree, Irene. I remember going "hmm" to myself when I read how they met. Sounds more like something that would happen to Merry than Lulu.

Interesting, Irene. I often think it's when we lea...

2010-02-18T10:31:08.693-05:00

Interesting, Irene. I often think it's when we least expect it, that we meet someone who takes us in a completely unexpected direction.

2010-02-18T10:30:52.075-05:00

Yes, you certainly started this book with a very personal "what if". Has writing this book helped you work through what happened to you and your sister?

2010-02-18T10:29:30.918-05:00

Libby, I really liked Drew, and I agree with you, Lulu and Drew made a good team. Meeting Drew and the instant attraction seemed out of character with the Lulu we knew.
