Appearances/Events

I’m always honored when someone asks me to appear on their site or at a venue. More than a little surprised, too. In a sense they’ve welcomed me into their home-away-from-home. So, as a thank you, I’d love for them to get as much exposure as possible. Thus, I’ve listed each appearance and book event here in the hopes that you’ll enjoy these articles, interviews, and/or events. Perhaps you’ll find a new favorite place, too. Win-win!

As you might notice, after 2015, my writing career kept me so busy I’ve had little time to update this page. Now in July 2020, I’m trying to do better. Please excuse the lapse in time. I can barely remember what day is, never mind remember all the places I appeared at over the last five years. 😉

Every Other Monday Year-Round

The original is on this blog under: The Ups and Downs of Indie Life (click title to view original).
