zoom meeting

Joan Kop, longtime member of the Inland Northwest Writers Guild, is set to release her newest novel – You Said It Would Only Be Temporary – at a special launch event to be held on January 21, 2026, on zoom.

The novel, her first foray into a new genre, will feature a woman devastated by life who moves forward anyway and becomes a telemarketer. Her path takes her places she has not expected and might even lead to a new relationship or two. Those who enjoy romance-with-a-heart (and a bit of humor) will take away some memories from this book.

The event will be held on zoom at 7 pm Pacific Standard Time. The link is automatically sent to select mailing lists, but may be requested (before 5 pm please) from lindathewriter@gmail.com. Come share the fun of a book launch!

Michelle Cox is the award-winning author of the Henrietta and Inspector Howard series (historical mystery/romance), The Merriweather Series (historical fiction/Jane Austen retellings), and a stand-alone novel, The Fallen Woman’s Daughter, which she will discuss during the Local Authors BC zoom event on Wednesday, April 2nd, at 2 pm Pacific time.

Michelle has won over 100 international awards and has garnered starred reviews from Library Journal and Booklist as well as praise from Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, Popsugar, Buzzfeed, Redbook, Elle, Brit&Co., Bustle, Historical Novel Society, Working Mother, and many others.

The event will require a link for entry. If you are not on the existing list of members of the group, or of the INWG, you may request the link be sent to you directly by contacting Linda at auntiesbooks@gmail.com.
