Do you work in a library? Or belong to a book club?

I love libraries! I grew up in the library, devouring Trixie Belden and Nancy Drew mysteries, and participated in summer reading programs since I could read. Now they are a great place to write or edit my own books!

If you have a copy of my book, Cookie Encounter, thank you! I love to visit libraries and may donate a copy of my book for your readers.

Ordering copies:

If you don’t have a copy yet, don’t despair! Paper copies of Cookie Encounter are available from Ingram. The ISBNs are: 978-0-9968570-1-7 (paper) or Amazon for Kindle: 978-0-996857-0-0 (e-book)

Copies of Heir Force are available from Ingram and should be available soon from Baker & Taylor. The paper ISBN is: 978-09968570-2-4 and the ebook: 978-0-9968570-3-1

Author Programs

I’m glad to help libraries out with a few programs. My favorite is just a simple author talk while collecting baking ingredients for your local food pantry. Most food pantries are well stocked on the typical canned corn, peas and green beans. But I ask patrons to bring flour, sugar, vanilla, frosting, muffin or brownie mixes, and other baking ingredients instead. This is an easy tie-in to my book, Cookie Encounter. This one is the most popular so far with good results.

Another program is How to Fit Writing into a Busy Schedule. I give a few tips on how to add writing to a full life. Contact me soon to schedule. I have marketing materials upon request, email me for more info.

If you’re outside of driving distance (beyond 4-5 hours from St. Louis), we can set up a program via Skype. Let me know what you’re interested in.
