Description
They said that my book had been selected for their book club. Would I be willing to participate in a Q&A? They do not request any payment, but after a couple of email exchanges, they mention that an author's contribution is very helpful in covering the cost of promoting the book to their members. They set a date and time for the Q&A. I had checked them out online, and they appeared to be legit. I was supposed to receive a link to join the meeting — but I never received a link nor heard back from them.
