Set up a Book Club Visit

Book clubs are my favorite!  I’d love to visit with yours. All my scheduling is done through Novel Network, a service that arranges an online visit either by Zoom, Google Chat, Facebook, Skype, or phone. And I’m happy to do Q&A.

Please sign up and request that I visit your book club!

Not Already in a Book Club?

I can’t include everything I learn in the course of my research in the book, so please feel free to take a deep dive into my characters.

Bloopers

I’m only human, and sometimes mistakes make it into my work. I try to laugh about it, so please laugh with me as I come clean in my blooper file!
