Kathy Hale asked Phaedra Patrick:

Hello, I am a librarian at the State Library of Pennsylvania. I am part of a One Book One Community Reads group in Central Pennsylvania covering a five county area. The people have voted to have your book, "The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper" as the book they want to read. Would you be willing to do a Zoom meeting that would be open to the readers of Central Pennsylvania? This was one of my favorite books!

Phaedra Patrick Hello, yes I’d be happy to do a Zoom call, depending on the time and date (I’m in the UK). Thanks for choosing my book to read!

When I started this book I expected it to be about "magic charms". However, in spite of being completely different than I had expected, I was "charmed" by the book. I think Arthur's "story arc" seems pretty complete, and I know, however his internal journey continues he will be happy, so he wouldn't make as interesting a story in the future. Or can one write a good novel with out conflict?
