I'm a very, very lucky writer. I love to hunker down at home, dreaming up worlds and fine-tuning sentences until they sing. But I also love to hit the road and meet readers, or make virtual visits with Zoom or Skype. If you'd like me to come visit your town (in person or virtually), please see the Contact page.
