Events
If you have any questions or an opening for a speaker in your community, please visit my contact page. I’ll be sure to get back to you! I do keynote speeches, writing talks to students of all ages, writers’ workshops and also fill in as a lay speaker for churches. My husband and I present musical programs, specializing in country, pop, and gospel.
(I have a soft voice so in larger venues I need a mic! I can bring my own system – just let me know!)
