But don’t ask me about the themes in my books. That’s for you to figure out. I’ve already graduated from high school!


Want Me to Visit Your School, Library or Book Club?

Yes, I would love to!

My basic presentation runs 30–45 minutes and can be tailored to the age, size of group and purpose of my visit. I’m very flexible in working with your school or library to fit specific curriculum and budget needs.

For assembly and library presentations (up to 100 students), I share my own process of writing—where fiction comes from, the role of imagination, how I draw on my own childhood, parenting and my long career as a journalist. My hope is to inspire young authors to believe in themselves, to find their own voice and to see the wealth of stories in their own seemingly ordinary experiences.

I frequently showcase themes in my novels, such as:

I leave plenty of time for a lively and always interesting question and answer period. I can also do writing workshops for individual classrooms. At each school visit, I donate one of my own books to your school library.

Cost: Contact me. My fee is very reasonable. (Additional travel expenses outside of the San Francisco Bay Area, my home base). Discounts for multiple schools or libraries in the same area, so it pays to team up! I also provide a discount for my visit if book sales are arranged and promoted in advance, and time is set aside for signing on the day of my appearance. Please don’t let your budget stop you from contacting me.
