My Favorite Book Fan Moments
By Elizabeth Pantley
Author of the Magical Mystery Book Club series
One of the unexpected joys of being an author is finding a fan out there in the world randomly. Not at a conference or a lecture, but when you’re living your everyday life and stumble upon a reader. There are three such moments that I’ll always remember.
Starbucks and Starstruck
My mom and I had just been shopping and stopped off at a Starbucks on the way home. We ordered our drinks and the server put the receipt in front of me. I signed my name and she gasped. “Are you the real Elizabeth Pantley? The author?”
“Yep, that’s me.”
She let out an actual squeal and grabbed my hand. “I love you!” she gushed, as the people around us chuckled and I blushed. She babbled about how much she loved my work. I ran out to my car where I always keep a few books in the trunk. I brought in a book, signed it to her, and left her clutching it in a hug. I still smile thinking of her.
Yes, Officer. It really is me.
We were at my son’s baseball game when an officer approached the stands. I was sitting in the front row near the middle, when she walked up to the woman seated at the end.
“I found a wallet in the parking lot,” she said. “I thought it might belong to one of the parents here.”
The officer opened the wallet to look for identification. “It belongs to Robert Pantley,” she said.
“Yep! It’s the coach,” said the parent. “But his wife is right there.” She looked over and called to me, “Elizabeth!”
I walked over and the officer looked me in the eye with an intense stare. “You’re Elizabeth Pantley, the author! Your sleep book saved my life when my baby was a newborn and I was a sleep-deprived zombie, and I still follow your blog. I’m so excited to meet you! Thanks for everything you do.”
The officer sat in the stands with me for a while. We watched my son play ball and had a great time talking about our families.
My neighbors just returned home from a trip to New Zealand to see family.
“You’re not going to believe what happened on our trip!” they said.
I was ready to hear a story of their traveling adventure. Instead, I heard something very different.
“We went to our cousin’s house, and there on her coffee table was your book!”
“You’re kidding! All the way in New Zealand?”
“It was right there! We told her you were our neighbor, but she didn’t believe us! Finally, I think she did, but can you sign a book for her? We’ll send it with the package we’re shipping to her. She’ll be so happy!”
So, there it went. A signed book to my new friend across the pond!
Such cool stories, Elizabeth! Thank you for sharing them with us today!

Would you join a book club that gets absorbed right into their cozy mysteries? These people did, and now they are hooked on traveling into books to become the amateur sleuths!
In this journey, the book club travels to the Kingdom of Everglow, where the royal family is rocked to the core when a key staff member falls dead at a community event. In the turmoil that follows, any evidence of what happened is destroyed, so they must go by the recollection of witnesses who were too busy enjoying the celebration to offer any valuable testimony. The royal family is further distressed when they return to the castle to see signs of a break in that somehow defied their complex security system. They wake the next day to discover that one member of the royal family has fallen into a deep, deathlike sleep.
Can the Snapdragon Inn Book Club uncover the plot behind this attack on the royal family? Can they find the antidote to wake the princess from her supernatural slumber? Can they bring peace back to the worried royal family and the frightened community? Let’s hope they can, since they must solve the mystery and reach The End to get out of the book and back to their home in Colorado.
Great Escapes Praise for Sprites and Scuttlebutt: Magical Mystery Book Club
by Elizabeth PantleyI am enamored with the author’s imagination, painting a world with green sky and pink clouds, wacky characters, and splatberry juice. It’s uniquely different, yet with its family of characters, it still has the comforting feeling of home. SPRITES AND SCUTTLEBUTT is a magical story about relationships, envy, and partaking in a snack whenever possible!
