A Family of Speakers
Speaker Sheet- Three Generations of Writers
There are a lot of exciting things happening in my life. One big one is in this post. Somehow, this year, the lives of my daughter, granddaughter, and myself have converged, and we have all published books and are doing speaking gigs together. The venues range from conferences, women’s groups to literary evenings. Chris and I also love doing workshops. Here is a bit about the three of us and our specialties.
If you are interested in having us come to your school fair, women’s group, convention, let us know what mix of speakers you would like. Be a part of a special event where three generations of female writers, who are passionate about creativity, outdoor activities, and Texas State Parks, come together. We value your input. Let us know if you’d like us to mix and match our presentations or if you prefer us to present as a family. Have one come or all three.
