Book Talks

I enjoy doing presentations and signings for my published books. Whenever I have a new book come out, I develop a new presentation to give at bookstores, book clubs, libraries and service organizations. This way, people who have heard me speak before don’t have to listen to the same presentation again. It also helps me stay fresh with new ideas and experiences to share.

Thanksgiving Coming Up

Thanksgiving is a good time to catch up with family. This year we’re going to celebrate on Friday instead of Thursday because that was the best day to get our local kids together. There will be eight of us, which is a manageable size. Bring on the turkey.

Fifth-grader Sherman Holmes and his sidekick Johanna Watson solve mysteries surrounding the Baker Street Elementary School in Londonberry, California. Nicknamed Sure Luck, Sherman always cracks the case, but invariably for the wrong reason that only Johanna catches, particularly when it involves Sherman’s nemesis, the school bully Jim Moriarty. Johanna also assists Sure Luck as he prepares for his second level private detective’s exam, involving both a written section and a surprise practical test that will require all of Sure Luck’s skill.
