Spotlight and Giveaway: Please Join Us

Today we are celebrating the publication of Catherine McKenzie's latest novel, Please Join Us. Melissa read this earlier in the year and really liked the premise. Check out her review. Thanks to Atria, we have THREE copies to give away!

At thirty-nine, Nicole Mueller’s life is on the rocks. Her once brilliant law career is falling apart. She and her husband, Dan, are soon to be forced out of the apartment they love. After a warning from her firm’s senior partners, she receives an invitation from an exclusive women’s networking group, Panthera Leo. Membership is anonymous, but every member is a successful professional. It sounds like the perfect solution to help Nicole revive her career. So, despite Dan’s concerns that the group might be a cult, Nicole signs up for their retreat in Colorado.

Once there, she meets the other women who will make up her Pride. A CEO, an actress, a finance whiz, a congresswoman: Nicole can’t believe her luck. The founders of Panthera Leo are equally as impressive. They explain the group’s core philosophy: they’re a girl’s club in a boy’s club world.

Nicole is all in. And when she gets home, she soon sees dividends. Her new network quickly provides her with clients that help her relaunch her career, and a great new apartment too. The favors she has to provide in return seem benign. But then she’s called to the congresswoman’s apartment late at night where she’s pressed into helping her cover up a crime. And suddenly, Dan’s concerns that something more sinister is at play seem all too relevant. Can Nicole extricate herself from the group before it’s too late? Or will joining Panthera Leo be the biggest mistake of her life? (Synopsis courtesy of Amazon.)

"Catherine McKenzie's latest is a triumph. I was infatuated with this brilliant, tangled web of lies, cover ups and deception. Totally thrilling and empowering, Please Join Us shows how some people will stop at nothing to get what they want. McKenzie never fails to impress!" 
—Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author of Local Woman Missing

“This searing take on professional networking from Catherine McKenzie is a fast-paced, intriguing, intense read that is as smart as it is suspenseful. Original and thought-provoking, it has plenty of twists and turns to satisfy even the most seasoned thriller reader, and the women of this tour de force will haunt you long after the final page is turned.” 
—Heather Gudenkauf, New York Times bestselling author of The Weight of Silence and This is How I Lied

The worst job I had was in high school being a cashier at the public pool. It also involves picking up trash and cleaning the pool every morning.

I never really had bad jobs. I did work for an "elite" women's magazine and the people working there were real snobs. I didn't last in that job very long. They let me go because I wasn't elite enough.

The worst job I ever had was as an assistant to the VP of a printing company. He was not a nice man.

I would say that so far I am quite content with my jobs that I have worked since graduating from university; at some point, I was exhausted by some jobs though.

Cleaning windows was no fun.

The worst job I had was working in a store, they rarely let us take our breaks and wouldn't let us go to the bathroom.

Being a waitress at a pizza place. They had way too many menu options other than pizza and it was always a nightmare
