I believe reading a novel should be fun and entertaining. Readers step into an adventure and away they go! Throughout the writing and editing process, my thoughts are focused on making the story a memorable and engaging read. Afterward, one of my favorite ways to pique interest is to develop an in-depth downloadable book club kit that appeals to individual readers and book clubs.
My newest novel, Canyon of Deceit, releases September 9th, and is available for preorder now at your favorite retailer. In this romantic suspense, a wilderness survival expert and a Texas Ranger team up to search the remote and beautiful Guadalupe Mountains National Park in west Texas for a kidnapped little girl. In this daring rescue attempt, nothing is as it seems as they learn unimaginable truth.
This is what I’ve created for you!
On my website, a tab is devoted to book clubs for all readers who are looking for activities, games, puzzles, recipes, and more while journeying through the story. On the page, the reader can click on a free downloadable book club kit. Here are a few of the goodies you’ll discover:
- A little about me
- Icebreakers – Fun questions
- Q&A with DiAnn
- Survival tips from my heroine who is a wilderness survival expert
- Negotiation rules from my hero who is a Texas Ranger
- Word search and answer key
- Discussion questions
- A personality test to see what character in the story is most like you
- Did I mention recipes?
- A page for note-taking
- Thank-you letter
- Book recommendations
But that’s not all! Return to the book club tab and scroll down.
- A link for those who love bookish gifts
- An online interactive jigsaw puzzle
- A link to purchase Canyon of Deceit in bulk
- A contact section if you’d like for me to join your book club via a virtual author session. Please note, I answer all emails.
Friends, if you’re looking for a little extra fun to go along with my upcoming romantic suspense novel CANYON OF DECEIT, this book club kit is for you. While there you’ll also find book club kits remain available for my previous romantic-suspense titles.

Congratulations on another release! I can’t wait to read Canyon of Deceit.
Thank you, Tammy! I’m excited too.
Canyon of Deceit is one of those books I wanted to read straight through to the end, but life sometimes gets in the way. I delved into this amazing book during my vacation in every moment I had a minute to read. The suspense is heart stopping and the characters are compelling. It’s a great read!

Love the puzzle! And can’t wait for the book.
We reset our book club list in the fall so I am passing this on to our leader. I’ve recommended several of your books and all the goodies that come with them for clubs to use so I pray we choose one of yours this year. I will lobby hard!

Oh, Karen, that would be great. If they choose my book, I can zoom in on the night they meet and offer a giveaway of something.
I will let you know what they decide.
Counting down the days!

Oh my goodness, DiAnn, what a fun post! Wow! So much good stuff here. Ooh it was like opening a Christmas gift. I will be ordering and reading Canyon of Deceit. I do hate waiting, though. lol That’s how it is with every novel. . .anticipation. Ha! Did you sing along? Wound up from my coffee right now. lol
I just lent Survivor to a friend who is on a cruise right now. She finished it while flying to Seattle to board her ship. She said it was SOooo good. All that was a side bar. lol
I have a couple of friends who do book clubs. How can I share this post with them via email or FB Message? I can’t believe how delightful and informative all this information is regarding book clubs. This is great stuff and will be so helpful.
Have a great day. May the joy of the Lord be your strength.
