Placing Literature is happy to announce that R.J. Julia Booksellers is sponsoring our monthly Author Spotlight series. While IndieReader will continue to sponsor an independently-published author, R.J. Julia’s will sponsor a traditionally-published author. We’ll discuss the partnership and what it means for our users in a separate post in the coming weeks.
Susan Kietzman is our R.J. Julia Booksellers Author Spotlight for March. Kietzman launched A Changing Marriage last week, following her successful debut novel, The Good Life. While The Good Life focused on the relationship between children and their aging parents, A Changing Marriage follows newlyweds as they embark on their new life together. A Connecticut native, Kietzman uses many of the places near her home as inspiration for the places in her novel—whether it’s a playground in Mystic Seaport near where her children buy penny candy or the fictional State University based on the very real Connecticut College in New London.
