Do you have a newsletter? I went through all your sites (impressive) but could not find anything where you let your readers know what’s going on. I probably missed it but it wasn’t from lack of looking! Thanks, Dianna
Dianna, thank you for asking! Yes, I’ll be sending out quarterly newsletters. You can sign up for emails on the “About K. J. Klemme” page, but I can also record your email address from your post. You’ll be hearing from me soon!
I would get newsletter from you. I would like to get next book.
Thanks
Thank you for your interest! I’ll add you to my email list!
Hello. Just writing to thank you so much for the book “Four Feet Down”. I really enjoyed the book. I really looked forward to reading it every night. It had me enthralled. I really enjoyed that these were true short stories and many from childhood which was really unique and took me back to my own childhood. I was the guy at the Best Western a couple months ago in Minoqua there for a funeral of my high school friend Jud Sircy. That was really generous of you and I’ll always keep it and thanks for signing it too! Sincerely, Troy Brandon
Troy, thanks for letting me know what you thought of the book. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I loved writing those stories–reliving times that I took for granted in my youth, and cherish as an adult. Although you were in town for such a sad event, I’m glad we had the opportunity to meet. When I checked in, I had no idea I would meet so many interesting, delightful people in a single evening. What a memorable night!
would like to get on your email list because I definitely want to read the second book of the Tourist Trapped Trilogy..
Thank you, Richard. I’ll make sure to add you to the list. I had hoped to finish the second book by Memorial Day, but it looks like it will probably be Labor Day. More to come soon!
I have looked everywhere for more books you have written. But there does not seem to be any. Are you still writing. I see nothing on this page since 2016. Where can I find more information. I truly enjoyed the first of a trilogy.
Thank you so much! I wish I could tell you that I had another book ready for you! In 2017 I took a new job and moved to Missouri, and since relocating I haven’t had enough mental bandwidth outside of work to get back to writing. I completed the first draft of the second book (titled “Snowtrapped”) and had a critique group read sections. Based on their feedback, I realized the number of characters overwhelmed the reader. I started to rework it–and I loved where the book was going–but then back-to-back major projects started to veer too much of my attention toward work and I just haven’t been able to get back to it. Lately scenes have started popping into my head out of the blue, so I suspect my subconscious is working on it. Hopefully by summer I’ll be able to dig back in. I so want to write again!
