Speaking Engagements
I welcome the opportunity to speak to groups and organizations interested in the writing process, reading, living abroad, or how writing helped me find my way home.
I have featured on BBC Somerset Radio, South Devon Radio, and Exmoor Radio and have presented at in-person and online events through libraries and bookshops. I’ve taught children about story structure in the school setting and chatted with book clubs about how my reading inspires my writing. Additionally, I have discussed using writing as a coping strategy with a pain management support group. I am happy to customize a presentation to suit your interests.
If you would like more information about what I can bring to your group, please get in touch.
Thank you Self Media Group for declaring Dunster’s Calling a runner up in the 2016 Best Indie Book Competition!
Reviews for Dunster’s Calling
‘As someone not living where I was born, I very much related to the emotional dilemmas in the book. I am neither a horse person, nor a lover of cream teas, but I still really enjoyed this book, especially that quintessentially English wit, which had me smiling, chuckling and laughing out loud at times. It is fast paced, involving and understated. The shifting between now and her childhood worked well. Recommended, and looking forward to the next offering from this author.’

This book has left me with a longing for both cream teas and a pony. It made me nostalgic for a childhood that wasn’t mine!

Thank you for a lovely story which made me laugh and cry! I could identify with so much of the narrative, not from the perspective of an émigré but as someone who grew up as a pony mad child in the fifties. Thank you for donating to the welfare of our beautiful “Dunster’s” too!
Review on author website
Loved this book. The author insightfully articulates the path that takes us from childhood dreams to adult reality. A keen sense of humor keeps this intimate journey feeling like an adventure we want to join. Even though I’ve lived my life on only one continent, the book resonated deeply. Seriously. Loved. This. Book.

I would read this book again just for pure enjoyment! Moreover, this book has piqued my interest, big time, for a visit to Exmoor one day… it’s been added to my bucket list!
