Beginning 9/17/24, I will be featuring my new middle grade novel from Scholastic, STRANDED. I'd love to join your school for an assembly, your Scholastic Book Fair, or a Community Literacy Event!
Are you interested in having me visit your school or organization? I am available for various types of appearances, including school visits, readings, signings, writing workshops, and presentations. I have over 30 years of experience teaching children in pre-schools and elementary schools. I love hanging out with kids! I enjoy meeting and talking to readers, writers, teachers, librarians, and other book lovers of all ages.
I also offer presentations for adult audiences! Please reach out regarding professional development for schools, districts, and other educational organizations. Workshops, keynotes, and other presentations are available for reading and writing related conferences, library and reading associations, and colleges.
