Since publishing THE LAKE in April 2013, I have enjoyed meeting new people and sharing my experiences.  I presented at the Stevenson Center on Democracy to discuss Writing and Publishing in the Digital Age. In addition, I've enjoyed discussing the process of writing with women's groups, book clubs and high school students. There have been many book-signing opportunities in Illinois as well as at the Sundog Bookstore and Hidden Lantern Book Store on Florida's  Emerald Coast.
