In early January of this year, I had the privilege of speaking to four different classrooms of students (5th through 8th grade), at two different schools, about my two Catholic YA novels
, Finding Grace and
Erin's Ring. I traveled down to Tampa to be a Confirmation sponsor for two of my nieces, and while there, my sister-in-law arranged for me to visit the Catholic school that her 8th grade triplets attend and also the one where she is a 5th grade teacher.
This was the second time I've been given the opportunity to speak to students in a classroom setting. In May of 2015, I visited my niece's 4th grade class in Chicago, to talk to her students about
Erin's Ring after they'd read the book together. (I blogged about the experience
here and
here, if you'd like to read those posts.)

I can't believe I'm about to say this (gulp!)...but if you would be interested in having me come to speak and/or do a book signing at your school or parish, please leave me a message. There is an "EMAIL ME" button on my home page over at
String of Pearls, if you want to contact me that way. Although I am often busy traveling to visit my kids and grandkids (none of whom live right down the street!), I might be able to make something work out.
