Public Speaking
There is an expectation when you write novels that you will speak about them. This has turned out to be a fun and very positive side to the lonely business of writing stories. Facing a group can be daunting, especially the few moments before I begin, but every time I have the chance to speak, I thoroughly enjoy the experience.
Students, and other audience groups want to hear about:
The process of writing
The reality of raising four boys
Being one of nine siblings
Singing and playing at gigs
The sandwich generation
My special music quiz
Writing has proven to be the peg that I hang my speaking hat on. When I’m listening to a speaker I can always tell if the person is being honest, really digging deep to offer some insights and an extra bonus is always laughter if there’s some humour.
If you have an event you would like me to speak at, please don’t hesitate to get in contact to find out more.
Music Quiz
I have devised a quiz, suitable for after dinner entertainment, or to be used as part of a conference or even in a school environment. I play and sing a portion of a song and then ask questions about the music or a book that relates to the song.
I have a quality portable sound system and guitar suitable for any venue.
