Are you part of a neighborhood book club or writers' group in the USA or Canada? If so, would you and your group like to hold a live phone chat with an author?
Writers love talking about their work! (It probably comes from spending way too many hours alone at a keyboard.) I'd be delighted to visit on the phone with your group for an hour to answer your questions and/or discuss my books, mystery fiction, historical fiction, writing, getting published, and so on. College-level writing or history classes are also welcome.
Just email me to set up a date and time--don't forget to remind me what time zone you're in--and tell me a little about your group. All you need at your end is a speakerphone; I'll pay for the call. I look forward to visiting with you!
If your bookstore, library, or community group is interested in hosting an author talk with book signing, and you are located within a reasonable distance of Albany, NY, I would be happy to visit. I also get to Toronto a couple of times a year. Please email me to discuss possibilities. (No charge, unless transportation reimbursement is necessary.)
