EVENTS:

I have been on extensive book tours ever since my first novel, CHECKMATE, was launched. I’ve had over 90 speeches/signings around the country. It’s been a pleasure to speak to conventions, corporate meetings, alumni clubs, civic groups, book clubs, libraries, Republican clubs, as well as bookseller conventions and writers’ conferences in cities including: Washington, D.C., New York, Los Angeles, San Diego, Santa Barbara, San Francisco, Seattle, Phoenix, Chicago, Charleston, Atlanta, Tampa, Orlando, Miami, Fort Myers and Naples.

If you are a member of an organization and would like to hear stories about life in The White House, working with President Reagan, weaving facts into fiction, or the personal journey of writing a contemporary novel, please be in touch. I’d love to hear from you.
