The Liars Club is a group of award-winning writers who work in a variety of genres, from literary to mystery to history to horror and beyond. They write stories for adults, young adults, children, and occasionally, werewolves. They advocate for bookstores and libraries, as well as for reading and writing, and give lively talks about books, publishing, writing, and topics related to fiction. Their goal is to promote literacy and a love of books and hope their stories encourage both. That’s no lie.
