The fun and joy of reading and writing fiction. I read some stories to the kids and talk about how reading can expand your world. Depending on the age of the group I talk about writing and publishing. Target audience: School groups from 3rd grade through high school.

Everyone can be a writer. I talk about the writing process and how improve the writing skills. . Target audience: Middle school and High School.

The Real Thunderfoot. I read some selected stories and talk about how I get my ideas for them. I also talk about my experiences hosting 27 exchange students and the impact they have had on my life. Target audience: High School and adult groups.

Additional Comments
My books have been very popular among young people and I have enjoyed visiting schools and getting feedback from teachers and parents about how some of the "non-reading" kids have gotten excited about reading after being exposed to the books.
