Speaking InformationI thoroughly enjoy going into schools and talking to the students. I prefer to talk with the 8 to 13 year olds as they are the audience for my books, but I + read more also have talks worked out for younger children, where I read from some of my unpublished works and often tell a fairy story as well.

Whatever age group I am speaking to I am always certain that I am there to give them more of a love and respect for reading and the importance of story in all our lives. I never look on a speaking engagement as solely an opportunity to sell my books.

Depending on the age of the children, I like to talk about the importance of scene setting without having long descriptive passages and how to weave the descriptions into the action of the story.

Likewise with dialogue. Dialogue is not just the way you talk in conversation. It must display character and further the plot of the story.

I always like to emphasize the importance of research for all stories – not just non-fiction. I give examples from my own writing experience where the information found during research has helped to shape the plot and events of the novel.

All through my talk I like to elicit ideas and examples from the audience, so that they feel part of the event. I also offer lessons on Skype. This certainly broadens my reach as I’ve presented to students in Saudi Arabia, Utah, Georgia and also the B C Interior.
