One of the best parts of being an author is traveling to promote the book, give readings and workshops, and craft talks, and meeting readers and writers. Here are some of my past events.
Please contact me if you'd like me to read, host a workshop, speak with your class or book group, or give a talk. I'm happy to join you in person or via Zoom as my schedule allows, and I can easily tailor my presentation to fit any group.
