Booking an Event:
I am happy to visit your school, library, bookstore, organization, or book club to talk about Enemies in the Orchard, its historical background, my writing process, and/or navigating the world of publishing. I love to do Q&As, and as a former middle school English teacher, would be happy to lead hands-on writing exercises.
Simply contact me, and let’s talk about what you need for your students, library, or community. We can work together to create something for just about any budget.
For more information, author interviews, excerpts, or images, you can also contact:
