Events

Looking for a speaker for your event?

More a conversation than a speech – I enjoy engaging audiences in discussions of the life stories that matter to them. My launching pad is the years I spent growing up on a family farm in the middle of the United States in the middle of the 20th Century. Whether someone grew up on a farm, in a rural community, or in another environment entirely, I find we enjoy sharing our stories and discovering all we have in common.

In addition to talking about my books, both memoir and fiction, I share tips on writing stories, the research involved whether the story is fact or fiction, publishing, and marketing.

My approach is to engage people in discussion throughout the time we spend together. Wherever their questions lead, that’s where we go.

Readers – Sharing ‘growing up country’ stories with others has opened my eyes to how many common experiences we have all had. We laugh. We cry. We encourage. I enjoy these visits as much as anyone who attends.

Event Planners – If you think I might be right for your group, contact me.
