Programming
Whether you're planning a library program, museum event, conference, book club, historical society meeting, school presentation, or community gathering, I'd love to help make your event memorable.
My presentations combine fascinating stories, historical research, rare photographs, humor, and audience interaction to create programs that are both educational and entertaining. Most presentations are approximately one hour in length, including a 45-minute presentation followed by time for questions and discussion.
In addition to the programs listed below, I'm always happy to customize a presentation for your organization or develop a new topic related to your community, local history, or special event.
I am also available throughout the year for keynote presentations, author talks, workshops, book signings, festivals, and author fairs.
