Hello and welcome to Storytime for Grown Ups. I'm Faith Moore, and this season we're reading The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston LaRue. Each episode I'll read a few chapters from the book, pausing from time to time to give brief explanations, so it's easier to follow along. It's like an audiobook with built in notes. So brew a pot of tea Find a cozy chair. And settle in. It's story time.
Hi, welcome back. So I was just looking at my calendar and was very excited to realize that it's just a little under two weeks until my book comes out. My book, Wooing Jane, comes out on October 2nd, which is two weeks from this past Friday. So that was exciting, which means it's just about two weeks until I will be in Franklin, Tennessee at the landmark booksellers. Talking about the book and signing the book and hanging out with my brother, Spencer Clavin, and with many of you, because I've been getting all kinds of emails from people saying they're coming. So I'm just feeling really excited right now. I know that's not related to what we're gonna be talking about today. It's not related to the Phantom of the Opera at all, but that's how I'm feeling as I come to this microphone today.
And so I Did want to just ask you, because it's on my mind, I would ask you please to scroll into the show notes, which is the description of this episode, and find the link and pre-order a copy of Wooing Jane. It's a romantic comedy, it's really fun. Henry VIII is involved. I'm really, really hoping you're gonna like it and it It's important to me. It means a lot to me. And it means a lot to me when you guys get a copy. It means a lot to me that you're telling me that you're gonna come to Franklin and see me there. So in the description, there are two links related to this. One is the Amazon link to pre-order the book. If you're not able to come to Tennessee, which I completely understand. If you're not able to, I would love it if you would pre-order the book off of Amazon.
And if you are able to come to Tennessee, then you should click the other link, which is the link to the landmark booksellers and the page about the event. You have to buy the book through there if you want to come to the event. It's like your ticket to the event and It's a conversation. Some of you have been asking, is it just a signing? What's going on? So no, it's gonna be me and my brother Spencer Claven in conversation about wooing Jane. And then at the end, there will be time for signing. So I'll sign your books and I can write your name in it, write whatever you want, and sign it, and you can go home with a signed copy. So I really, really hope that you will either get the book or join me in Tennessee or do both.
And I really appreciate you giving me the chance to talk to you about it here. Cause I know that's not what this is about, but it's important to me. It means a lot to me. And so thank you for letting me do that. But we'll move on now. We are going to be reading chapter seven today of The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux. Before we do that, the reminders are the same. We have tea time coming up over in our online community, the drawing room. That is on Wednesday, September 30th at 8 p.m. Eastern. If you're not yet a member of the drawing room, or if you are but you're not yet landed gentry, you can scroll into the show notes again and click the link. That will help you to sign up or change your membership if you want to.
And then you can join us on the 30th. I really hope. Hope that you will. It's gonna be lots of fun. We can talk about this book. You can ask me any questions.
