For years, I have been grateful to book clubs, teachers, and students of all grade levels for their enormous support. Visits to schools and book clubs have accounted for well over 100 of my more than 740 total appearances – and are among my favorites. The fact is, students inspire me! I always enjoy my visits to middle schools, high schools, and colleges. Students have always treated me with the utmost respect, and I find their questions to be among the most insightful I receive. An added bonus — perhaps the “double bonus” — is that I have been invited to schools to discuss my books/historical topics AND to talk about writing or to conduct writing workshops. Please contact me if you’d like me to make an appearance at your local book club or school (or your children’s, grandchildren’s, or friends’ schools!)
