As an author, I have presented to nearly 100,000 students\u00a0since my first book was published in 2011.<\/strong> Although I spend most of my time in schools and young writer conferences, I also do book fairs, adult conferences, bookstore events, and programs for churches, senior living centers, libraries and civic groups. If you are looking for a speaker to inspire your next audience, share my unexpected author journey,\u00a0describe the writing\/publishing process, work with an individual class, or simply read my books–let\u2019s talk! If you’re wondering where I’ve been or where I’m going, check out the list below!<\/p>\n View Gallery<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row module_class=”btn-inline”
