Set up a Book Club Visit
Book clubs are my favorite! I’d love to visit with yours. All my scheduling is done through Adventures by the Book, a service that arranges an online visit either by Zoom, Google Chat, Facebook, Skype, or phone. And I’m happy to do Q&A. Please sign up and request that I visit your book club!
Not Already in a Book Club?
That’s ok. Join my Facebook Founding Mothers’ Book Club or my Historical Book of the Month Club.
Learn More
I can’t include everything I learn in the course of my research in the book, so please feel free to take a deep dive into my characters.
Bloopers
I’m only human, and sometimes mistakes make it into my work. I try to laugh about it, so please laugh with me as I come clean in my blooper file!
