Appearances
I always look forward to meeting my readers - virtually and in person. At present, I am especially looking forward to working with students in grades 4-6 who have read or want to read my upcoming middle-grade novel, Chester and the Magic 8 Ball.
In addition to public events, I am also available for virtual or in-person visits with your book club. Use the form on my Contact page to reach out to discuss possibilities, your ideas, and your budget.
For Chester and the Magic 8 Ball:
As a former teacher and school principal, I enjoy working with students of all ages. My presentations are interactive, fun, informative, curriculum-based, and inspirational. I am scheduling classroom and grade-level visits for spring 2023. Please use the Contact page to connect.
For The Surrogate:
My experiences as an educator and writer include many topics that might be of interest to your group or organization, including:
-
Gun violence in America and what we can do about it
-
The role of public education in helping troubled children and families
-
Finding your courage and your voice as a writer
-
The writing journey: A long and winding road
-
Writing a legacy book for your family
-
And of course, her debut novel, The Surrogate
